    Camino Frances in May 2017

    Yes, @mspath I saw that. I am arriving in Bayonne at 17:32 and would prefer not to wait that long for a train. So the 18:06 daily train would be perfect (if it arrived on Sundays) otherwise Express Bourricot it is!

    Does anyone know if there is a train leaving Bayonne for SJPdP at 18:00 on Sundays? I do not see one on the SNCF website and think I will have to use Express Bourricot. Just wanted to confirm.... Thanks!

    JFK - Madrid, experiences with Iberia?

    All of our visitors came from somewhere in the USA and about half lost luggage. Check at your own risk. Good luck and buen camino!!

    JFK - Madrid, experiences with Iberia?

    Don't check your luggage if you can help it. I lived in Madrid for a year and about half of the people's luggage that visited my roommate and I was lost. (various airlines)

    @DolfanCLT no way!! @thirdfencepost lives in Winston too. I don't know if we'll cross paths on the Camino but perhaps here. Is this your first Camino?

    I walked a mile last week and two yesterday so I'm starting slow I workout regularly though and will definitely pick up the walking soon! Good for you for learning Spanish! I speak Spanish pretty well so I'm more worried about the walking!

    I feel the same way. I would actually love to stop in Orisson but I'm not sure if we can afford the time. My guess is what is "possible" all depends on the circumstances you are faced with along the way - which you won't know until you get there. But why not go for it and just be flexible! We...

    @ @LiliM, are you starting in Pamplona or SJPdP? @thirdfencepost and I plan to leave SJPdP on May 8. (Sorry if I've already told you this)

    Camino Frances in May 2017

    @adam lapp maybe we will see each other! At the moment I'm not seeing great combinations (plane/train/bus) that will get us from Paris to SJPdP before 5pm; probably closer to 6:30 or 7pm. Which I'm not thrilled about since we land in Paris at 8:45am. But I'm holding out for better options as the...

    Duly noted! Thank you so much @Arn! I am really grateful for your advice!

    Will do @Mark Lee! What's your favorite albergue in Santiago? I stayed in Roots&Boots on Rua Campo do Cruceiro do Gaio the last time I was there. I seem to remember an old seminary or something that was turned into an albergue. Do you know if it's a good one?

    Thanks @Mark Lee. I like the idea of planning to stay in a municipal albergue and then if it's full, try for one of the private ones and if that's full hopefully there is a hostel/pension/hotel with some space. I am ok with gambling a bit on this as long as there is a bed somewhere in town :-P

    Thank you for the info @PloddingAlong. Some questions... What is the RER? Why not just take a train from CDG? Do you think there will be more options at another station, like Gare Montparnasse? Excellent point about sleeping on the train. At this point it doesn't look like we can get there...

    Ok, are reservations required at private albergues?
