[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1152280, member: 41003"] Bags are sorted. I will take the meds and CPAP's (a lot of stuff for two aging pilgrims) along with snacks. Phil has a tiny backpack that wads up into a ball and fits in its own bag. He's got his rain poncho, water, misc. nose sprays and cough drops for the Galicia pollen. Not sure what else and he will have his hat, sunscreen and walking sticks. Clothes and toiletries in the shipped bag. There are stores in Spain if it goes missing, I guess. I remember in 2016 the pilgrim horror stories about bags that did not arrive or didn't get picked up at all. I've also seen the insecure locations that bags are kept awaiting pickup and after arrival. It will take me a few days to trust, but by then we'll be in Santiago... Tomorrow Melide! Its about 15 km. I definitely want to go see the Pembre Castle to see if it is a worthwhile side trip for the students even if Phil needs to nap through it... In 2016, Phil got food poisoning in Melide after eating some suspect fish. He was very ill for several days and we saw the rest by taxi. This year hope to get a legit Compostela. The one from 2016 was due to the generosity of a volunteer who saw we'd been on the Camino for 45 days before Phil took ill. It was an emotional experience and I amnot sure the new fangled registration and printed version will make us feel the same way. Much to anticipate with a cautious approach. Will try to keep an open mind as I am to the bag shipping... [/QUOTE]
