- Time of past OR future Camino
- Frances May-June (2014)
Time is growing short before our departure. Culled the backpack one more time today & got it down to 15.5 pounds without water. I'm walking in my sleep, making checklists & going through airport security. The hubby & I fly out May 2 and plan to begin our Camino Monday, May 5. We're flying into Madrid then on to Bordeaux where we'll spend the night, then catch the train(s) to Bayonne & on to St. Jean. Anyone else planning to start around this time? We're planning to take it slow so if you start after us, you'll probably catch us at some point.
Another question. I'll have several prescription meds that I will be carrying on. Is there anything special I need to do? They'll be in their original labeled bottles to travel, but I'll probably switch them to plastic bags before walking. I've read that a written prescription is needed as well. I'm a bit concerned about the security check-in for our second leg departing Madrid as we have a several hour layer so we're planning to leave the airport for a quick city tour so we'll have to go through security again.
This is such a wonderful forum. I've been reading it for over a year, so I think we're well prepared!
Thanks,
Kay
