    Clearing Customs in Madrid?

    I went through customs 2 nights ago, it was at 23:00 and zero line so I breezed through. The lady didn’t even ask me why I was in Madrid or any other question she just stamped my passport and off I went. The line for the taxis was very long and intimidating at first but it moved at lightning...

    CamiGO! 4th attempt is a go, I am currently sitting in the Dublin airport waiting for my flight to Madrid…3 years of talking about it and May 4th I take my first step.

    Packing for a Camino I am not supposed to be planning!

    That is so funny you say your friends know you are not a homeless person. I have been training for my upcoming Camino with my full pack with my sleeping bag strapped to the back of the pack. When I first went out my boyfriend said I looked like a homeless person. I live in Fort Worth, TX and...

    Look at us finally getting to go, this is our time! Congrats on the negative tests, that is huge. I will be a couple weeks ahead of you so I doubt we will run into each other but I wish us both the best Camino possible!

    4th times a charm? After 3 times booking and not being able to walk the Camino I am booked and ready to fly out May 1st to Madrid to walk the Camino Frances. I truly believe everything happens for a reason, if I had been able to go on my last scheduled Camino this last summer I would not...

    That is great information and a relief to hear. I haven’t heard back from Aer Lingus regarding my refund request, but I am not worried, even if I get a voucher I will be fine with that.

    I looked back on this post I did over a year a go and really have to chuckle at my optimism of walking the Camino in March of last year, many of you were realist, told me it probably wouldn't happen and I wouldn't have it. Of course, March 2021 came and went, my flights were cancelled and I...

    Looks like I will just need to pack what I typically would pack on an AK hike in March, not much different. Thank you for the photos, it really shows the variation in weather.

    Thank you for sharing the video, the family is as you described...a pleasure to watch. Previously, I haven't watched any videos because I wanted to be surprised about what I see when I get there. I now find myself wanting to watch their entire journey. One thing I do know, is that I wasn't...

    It's funny you say that, I looked up the average weather for March and you are spot on, it is very similar to where I live, however, I imagine there will be more daylight in Spain during March than in Homer. Alaskan & Irish....maybe I dodged a heatstroke bullet not being able to go in September.

    I laid my equipment out on the floor the other day and admired my accomplishment of getting it all purchased a bit at a time! I had a good time looking at this forum for ideas then going out and making the purchase. My last purchase was trekking poles I found last month that say Alaska on...

    BTW! That is exactly what Homer looks like behind Homer Simpson! It is truly beautiful!

    That would be funny! Homer, AK is actually the end of the road in AK and I venture to say their are many that have left the lower 48 from a lockdown to escape here and live in the wilderness. Homer was named for Homer Pennock, a goldmining company promoter, who arrived in 1896 on the Homer...

    I love your Camino, it sounds perfect. I can't wait until the day comes I can live the vision you portray.

    I rescheduled my trip 6 months after my original trip was to begin, not because I have a crystal ball or believe that COVID will be over and life will be back to normal. I booked it because I hope this to be the case, to give me something to look forward to and plan for. No one has a crystal...

    At least we are able to travel within the U.S.! I wish you the best on visiting your daughter soon!

    I am going to walk the Virtual Camino, beginning on the day I originally was going to start. I am going to grab a few bottles, who am I kidding, a case of wine and after I finish for the day I will partake in some wine & cheese, and other Spanish cuisine! It's not the same but I will make the...
