I know your not going on the “Sanabrese” but. Your question reminded me of funny menu del dia board in Puebla de Sanabria. One of the first items listed was “attacked cabbage”. Which we finally figured out was chopped cabbage. It and the meal was very good though, kept us laughing for the rest...
Hola hermano
All are welcome at a Catholic Mass, the word Catholic in Greek means universal.
There are some areas of respect as you prudently asked, as a non Catholic you cannot receive the holy Eucharist. Other than that, as someone mentioned just watch when folks kneel, sit and stand...
He is correct, I just bought on Amazon for $12.99, delivered to my home in Arizona. I enjoy the movie so much it’s easier to just own it.
When I get home on 9/10 after arriving on 7/11, hiking the CN from Santander, now hiking the Portugues, it’s the first movie I’ll watch.
On this trip in July, landing on the 11th, I put my poles in my bag and shrink wrapped the entire backpack and checked it. Worked fine. Finished from Santander to Santiago.
Then met my wife in Lisbon (now) , she didn’t bring any as she carried her bag. Went to Decathlon where they have a great...
Yes thanks for your input. I did have a platinum card along with normal card. I signed up to receive additional points, but didn’t want to pay the $200 annual fee at that time and canceled it, but did get the points.
Your also on point in suggesting they go to a higher level, now retired but in...
Sure, I’ve had my Advantage card for about 15 years. I pay $100 for the annual fee. When I signed up knew that I had to use the card within the first 6 months, spending $1000 within that time frame to receive the points which was 50k.
For me it was easy since I had several home projects to do...
This is hopefully going to help others and possibly you.
Having a credit card with AA is helpful, When you sign up you are usually given 50k in points to use. I have used the card for big purchases and then paid it off before incurring interest and also to validate the points offered with card...
Just an update re this thread. I left Phoenix on 7/11 to Philadelphia, then picked up my direct flight to Madrid in the same terminal, very easy. So not all flights for AA out of that hub have been cancelled.
Good traveling
Good advice.
For my 4 trips I’ve found 2 pairs of lightweight zip off pants works for me. I wash each one daily and even in the colder months they dry quickly. Same with shirts, long sleeve with light layers underneath And a Fanny pack for my phone, wallet, cash and passport, credential.
Just a question, I am flying to Philadelphia on 7/11, then the direct flight to Madrid. Did they let you know about the cancellation before you left? Or when you got to Philly? Thanks.
On both of my completed Caminos, via De Plata, to the Via Sanabria over the Galician range to Santiago and Camino Norte, to the Primitivo, which joined Frances at the end to Santiago, I was fortunate to go to both Masses and see the Botafumero be swung. Just an FYI, every feast day it’s swung...
