    Traveling on a plane with a backpack.

    I am leaving for my Camino on September 14th and will be carrying a Gregory J38 pack on board with me. With the help of compression bags to reduce the size of my clothing and sleeping bag stuffed inside, it will fit within the size limitations for carry-on luggage and will go in the overhead...

    Can we do some Pillow talk?

    Stay over in Bayonne / Biarritz?

    Yes. Staying over is an option. I'll just see how in feel at the time I guess. I'll have a reservation at Orission on the 15th. It will be an easy day either way.
