- Time of past OR future Camino
- March (2021)
At least not in 2020 or as scheduled!
It is with great sadness that I rescheduled my Camino today for March of 2021. I was scheduled to arrive in Paris on Sept 8th and begin my first Camino on the 10th. I held out hope that a miracle would occur and I would be able to travel from the U.S. even though I knew in my heart it was a long shot.
I booked my trip on a whim after hearing someone talk about it in a bar, the Camino called to me and I just had to go. When I booked my trip in Feb COVID was new and I had hoped that by September it would have run its course. I ignored everyone on this forum who said don't even think about walking the Camino in 2020, I thought you all were pessimists, that if I truly believed it would happen.
So, apologies to all of you that had the wisdom and foresight to predict that COVID would still be rearing it's ugly head months later, I didn't want to believe you were correct.
I booked my trip through Orbitz and was able to change my reservations with no change fee, however, my tickets were less than previous and they will not refund the difference. I am OK with that, losing $200 opposed to $1,100 is a win in my book.
So I have $ in the bank, all the equipment, and an airline flight scheduled for March....what I lack is patience but I will work on that!
