Hello from sunny California! My name is Jessica and I will be walking the Camino with my mom this summer at the end of August through September. We are planning on flying out of San Francisco Aug 26 and starting our walk Aug 29 Is that enough time to get acclimated to the time change, overcome any jet lag, get anything we may have forgotten, and enough time to get to Pomplona from Madrid. We will be starting from Pomplona and would like to arrive in Santiago no later than Sunday, Sept 29.
I just have a few questions in regards to getting started:
Would it be easier to just go directly to Pomplona after we land in Madrid and get settled there? Or should we settle in Madrid instead FIRST and then take the bus or train to Pomplona the next day before we begin our walk? We would like to spend a few days in Santiago and Madrid before going home.
Ivar-we plan to send our luggage to you at some point before we begin our walk. (Madrid/Pomplona)
My mom will celebrate her 70th b-day while on the Camino. It would make it even more special if she could experience the Botafumeiro.
Looking forward to the experience and the people. I appreciate all the useful information everyone shares.
