I am still enraged by yesterday's discovery of a couple who had "done" the 9 islands of the Azores and dismissed one island as "can be done in a day by car".
Let me offer some advice:
If you were visiting the US for the first time, you would not try to cram in all 50 States, just because there are 50 states. And for anyone who has done it: congrats. You have a very specific (and weird) experience.
OR, if you were visiting America (especially for any limited period of "vacation" time) I am pretty sure that you would not want to cram in all 59 NATIONAL PARKS. Because that would be ridiculous.
In the same way, I would beg you not to try to visit all 9 Azores Islands (or even more than 3) in less than a space of 2 weeks.
Logistics are difficult.
This is not The Amazing Race.
If you are a grownup, you should plan to be interested. And puzzled. And surprised. Hang around an interesting area and see an amazing view (even if you have to do it a few times, it does not get boring).
Here is another (American's) report about the Azores. I'm not sure how long they stayed, but a few nights on a few islands which are grouped together (they did Pico, Faial, Sao Miguel) are recommended.
I got the above off this original posting on Fodor's, with a great series of comments too!
