Times have not been finalized but looking for an early start. That is one reason why we didn't want to go with The Mountain Shuttle from Express Bourricot scheduled at 8:30am.
Will be meeting with NC after we arrive in SJPdP to finalize plans and payment.
Napoleon-Compostelle were very prompt in replying. Their rates are as advertised.
