The 10th!

Time of past OR future Camino

of flying from Oregon to Madrid

as I remembered seeing something
on my reservation app for my flight.

I jumped out of bed, opened the app,
and there is was. . .

Tuesday, April 09

Wait.
Look at it again.

Wait.
Am I arriving in Madrid on April 9?
But our hotel reservations are for the 10th!

I went to the internet
and looked at time change conversions,
then I looked at hotel reservations for April 9.

I texted Paula 3 times,
who was obviously sleeping,

I checked the app again.

The time in Madrid is 8 hours AHEAD of me.

I'm arriving on the 10th.

I need a cup of coffee.

Two more sleeps.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
