    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD French Vaccination Pass ending on March 14th, 2022

    *Sigh* I won't feel completely safe until I see the numbers 2/3 weeks after these mandates are dropped. If the numbers start to rise again, I think all bets will be off. So, do we still need to bring proof of vaccination and masks when arriving in Europe from wherever??

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Flight Cabin

    I recently flew from Honolulu to JFK to Frankfurt, then Brussels to Newark to Honolulu. Each flight was about 10 hours. On the one from JFK to Frankfurt, they asked for double masks, everywhere else was normal masking. The seating was fairly spread out and flight attendants didn't mind if you...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    It’s a sad state of affairs when travelers have to figure out ways to skirt around regulations in order to achieve a reasonable outcome. Unfortunately, this is where we are at, at the moment. Good luck, Rappahannock Rev. I’m glad you are healthy and on the road again.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do I need both Proof of Vaccination AND a Negative Test for bus from Pamplona to SJPP

    For me, coming from HNL to JFK, all I needed was my passport and vaccination card. I think they might have scanned my temp at the desk where you drop off your bag. I would not have been able to get a COVID test in time, since I had just arrived in JFK earlier that morning from non-stop Honolulu...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do I need both Proof of Vaccination AND a Negative Test for bus from Pamplona to SJPP

    The airlines sent me to the newsstand at the airport to pick up a pack of those blue paper masks everyone is wearing - 3 for $10. I got it, wore it UNDER my homemade mask, and everyone is happy. The airlines (Lufthansa) needed everyone to wear that paper mask. Some on board had the more serious...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do I need both Proof of Vaccination AND a Negative Test for bus from Pamplona to SJPP

    i just flew from JFK to Frankfort/Brussels. I needed my passport and vaccination card. The only glitch was that the airlines would not let me wear my own face mask and insisted I wear the paper surgical one instead. Rebel that I am, I wore the paper one UNDER my own face mask. I’m not sure how...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Delta Airlines just cancelled my trip!

    OK, so I'm getting a bit confused by now on this thread. Here are my questions: It seems the advice is to make your reservations directly from the airlines company, not through an agent (do they still exist?) or through a company like Travelocity or Expedia because if there is a problem with...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Getting the "run around"...

    Hey, Bob, I see your point about trying to hold someone/thing accountable for what they did or didn't do during unprecedented times. Might not be fair. Perhaps we could see how they change or don't change their policies in the future, in light of what they "learn" from this experience. Will...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Getting the "run around"...

    When this is all over, we on this Forum may want to, a) collect our data on which airlines and booking companies were most/least helpful and note that information for everyone, b) double down and find some plain, ol' fashioned, dinosaur-era travel agents to help where available, c) compare notes...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Designing a Camino for the COVID-19 World

    davebugg, You are right. No one walks around with their shot record, as far as I know, at least not for regular "tourist-y" travel (but, ahem, you caught me, we are a military family). I don't know what kind of documentation you could force people to carry around with them to and from the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Designing a Camino for the COVID-19 World

    Wow! So many thoughtful responses!! I have to add my $0.02: Our Camino has been through plagues before, and survived. If this virus means that some albergues become a little cleaner, a tiny bit more spacious, great! My plane fare maxes me out, so I need to stay in inexpensive lodging. And, God...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Our losses in these Covid times

    @alexwalker, just reading this now. I am so sorry for your loss. Suddenly there is an empty hole in the heart which being there would have helped fill, now it is just an empty hole. However, let the sincere love from your friends, family, and fellow pilgrims help fill that hole with caring. You...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD I'm plummeting...

    CC (the OP), I admire your ability to be honest with yourself and put your feelings into words, then share them with us. My tentative CF was planned for September, with my daughter, who would have been walking it for the first time. Will I be able to do it a year from now (the CF will be...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spanish lessons in the time of COVID

    This is terrific. I caught about 60%, figured out another 30%, then I subscribed. If nothing else, I'll be ready to listen to normal Spanish when I get back on the Camino. Thanks for sharing.
