Hi everyone. My husband and I will be walking the Frances route next year (fingers crossed) and I just has this thought yesterday. If Spain will ease restrictions and borders will be opened, we will have an opportunity to go now. As in book the flight for the next day and go! Not sure how realistic it is price wise but there is a chance that prices might be low due to people not flying right now and airlines have to make up their losses, right? Our 15 year old daughter is learning from home now so this could be the perfect opportunity to go as we’re always bound to her school schedule. And we would be able to leave her with the grandparents .
And to keep safe on the Camino we could stay in private albergues, if they will be open. Is anyone thinking the same or is it just me?
Also, since we’re planning on going in 2021 we’re not really ready with packing. I purchased backpacks, shoes, rain coats 2 days ago (unfortunately online as Rei is closed). We have sleeping bags and liners. I read most of the packing threads here and made myself a list of essential things to purchase. Is there something that you wish you carried with you that you learned AFTER walking your first camino? Also, how realistic is my idea? There’s talk about not being to walk the Camino for a while but I think they will have to open soon to make up for the losses so if we wear masks when social distancing is not possible, stay in private rooms and use a lot of hand sanitizer it could be possible! In my head at least .
I will appreciate any input.
