It usually takes about 16-18 hours with layover times. I usually stop in Miami and then go to Rio from there, sometimes i stop in Sao Paulo and transfer to Rio from there.Without layover times its about 14 hours and 20 mins. There are shopping malls around copacabana but i'd recommend shopping around Ipanema too as some parts of Copacabana are really touristy. Yea there are alot of single brazilian guys in Rio, and alot of them like foriegn girls too. Jus try and speak the little portuguese you know, we know portuguese isn't easy so don't worry if you mess up.

It usually takes about a day and a half to fly to Rio from California between flight time and layovers. Usually, it works out best to fly through Houston, Atlanta, or Miami since it makes a nice break about a little bit before half way through your journey. As far as things to do around the Copacabana, the beach scene is pretty cool and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and clubs nearby. As far as hot guys go, I don’t really know because I spent most of the time checking out the attractive females in skimpy bikinis. But, it would stand to reason there would be hot guys as well. As far as being taken goes, if they find you attractive they will hit on you. As far as not knowing Portuguese goes, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If you make the effort, people appreciate it and about 35% speak English. Just bring the Lonely Planet English-Brazilian Portuguese phrasebook. If you really get stuck, and need to converse with someone just use that.

Best of luck…

PS Make sure you have a travel visa to enter Brazil, it costs a hundred bucks and you can get it from the Brazilian Consulate in San Francisco or Los Angeles. You need to be careful about street crime in Rio. Don’t carry large amounts of money with you at night. Travel in groups at night. Keep your valuables and passport in the safe at the hotel.
