    TGV Ticket never arrived

    Hi Robo, as you may remember i had a similar issue to you with my tickets not arriving by post to Australia. I ordered them on 28th January for travel on 9 May I had tried to get them reissued by sncf but they were not very helpful. I had resorted to cancelling the credit card transaction but...

    TGV Ticket never arrived

    Ahh Robo, thanks for making me laugh! I haven't had any luck yet in getting them to re-issue my paper ticket that didn't arrive in the post to Australia. Your persistence has encouraged me to do the same and get back on facebook - nothing to loose! I will pass on any amusing responses.

    Bus Share - Bayonne to SJPP on Sunday, May 6

    Hi Michelle, why are you so sure that you cant get the normal train or replacement bus? I did read that the reason you cannmot book the Bayonne/STJPDP train at the moment is because of some subsidence along the line, so there are track works. This is why they have closed bookings but they did...

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Hi Janade. It may be my terminology (or lack of). It is a universal plug but i will only have the euro prongs fitted. It then has 4 usb holes. This means i only need my phone charging cable, not the plug. Hope this makes sense

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Thanks Michelle for your suggestions. I will use the next 5 weeks to sample and test my options, hopefully the result will be a lighter load. I do have teva sandals for after wear or as a alternative.

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Thanks Gabi, i will investigate the soap/shampoo sheets. But as for conditioner, you haven't seen my hair without it! I do have a concentrated leave in conditioner that i plan on taking. I am leaning towards the down jacket as i can use it as a pillow(in it's storage bag) and it also feels a lot...

    Thanks Sandi for your reassurance. And point taken on perfume - I will leave it out. A habit of mine to take a sample bottle on my travels

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Thanks Mikey, the Aarn has its own waterproof liner, however I have also used packing cells/mesh bags/zip lock bags for clothes, tevas and other items.

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Thanks Vacajoe, I have considered either down or fleece and the down does fit under my jacket and I do prefer it for keeping me warm. I also thought i can use it (in it's storage bag) as a pillow. I am currently trialling Dr Bonners liquid and can't say i like it for my hair but will test it out...

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    Thanks Thanks Jill for the feedback. Yes you're right i dont need both skirt and dress, although I'd like them both! Not sure what the caribiners are for? Saw a few suggestions so bought them - attaching things to my pack i suppose but not sure what!

    My May packing list for your appraisal

    I am planning to leave STJPDP on May 10 (assuming the SNCF angel helps me out by not cancelling my train trip from Paris the day before). I have been refining my pack and its contents for some time now, the result is in the attached list. A summary of which is: Current weight 6.4kg with a few...

    TGV Ticket never arrived

    Hi Robo, I have the exact same problem . I purchased tickets in January on sale and chose the post option (E ticket was not an available option and i figured i had plenty of time), however tickets have never arrived. It took a lot of persistance to get a response from OUI SNCF (FB messenger in...

    travel journal electronic

    I have recently used the Polarsteps app which has map tracking as well as ability to pin photos to locations. It also provides an area to write a journal each day or leg. My daughter recently used it on a trek to Everest base camp and it was great for us at home to see where and what she was up...

    Hi Katjaa, I am also pondering this issue however my Camino is not planned until May 2018. I have a pair of Teva Original sandals. The have a thong appearance (strap connected in between toes) and also have an ankle strap. My thinking on this is that if I was to experience any rubbing or...
