Bueno!!
I am landing in Biaritz, March 30th, 2017 and finding my way to SJPP; Not sure if I'll take a train or bus yet, any suggestions?
Also, I am only planning on bringing a silk bag liner. And hopefully getting a blanket at night....What do you think?

When are you arriving? I just changed my flight, and am now arriving in Biarritz on March 30th. I won't be deciding to walk the Napoleon route or Valcarlos until I arrive in St. Jean and check weather and conditions.

Hello there,
Well I have flexible plans to leave St. Louis and be in SJPP on March 30, 2017, or the 31st and starting on April 1 or the 2nd. I don't sleep well on planes. Anyone else in town then? K.
Thank you for your note; Your first suggestion is great; I fly from La Guardia into CDG, then ORL to Toulouse. so I'll call Air France to see what they can do....thank you.
