Hello all,
I'm not sure how, considering I've been planning this for over two years and had my plane ticket in place since last October, but it seems to have hit me all of a sudden that I'll be flying out in less than two weeks. I am planning on the Madrid, Salvador, primitivo combination.
I have the e book version of the csj guide for Madrid, enders for Salvador and this forum's guide for the primitivo. And I just got @Magwood spreadsheet. (Thanks for your awesome blog!) I have decided to get a phone, but was wondering if a non smart one would be sufficient? I have resisted a phone on my other Camino's but I was able to rely on seeing other pilgrims and not having to call for albergue s to be opened. I realize this is a n arbitrary line as I will be taking a tablet and plan on using WiFi at night but I was hoping to spend most of the day unconnected, and don't trust myself to resist checking emails, etc. I have been cramming in reading blogs etc and having the maps of path on phone, looks tempting but hopefully unnecessary?
I arrive in Madrid on 11th plan to start walking on the 12th, would love to meet other pilgrims.
Thanks!
