Preparing for Sao Miguel

I have about three weeks to go before departure for Sao Miguel, but unfortunately I am running out of time to do what I want.
I am looking forward to being with the family and getting to know them better. We grew up in different worlds, but yet I am trying to maintain a relationship with them as best I can. The internet and phones makes it a lot easier with instant communication, but still not seeing each other face-to-face is not the same.
I also want to visit parts of Sao Miguel that I have not seen yet, especially some of the small towns on the eastern side of the island, which, I think, is the most beautiful. I have seen pictures of them, but I want to walk them too.
