Camino Somewhere September 2017
I have a flight booked for arrival to Madrid on 29 September, and I had planned on beginning my Camino Frances from SJPP on 30 September. Today, however, an interesting opportunity presents itself!
I had been holding September open for my stepdaughter's nuptials, which she (unfortunately for me, ha ha!) had initially planned for 26 September. Sigh. So I booked my flight for 28 September, thinking...well, it could be wet, it could be cold, but let's aim for a primarily October walk. God--and you all!-- knows that I'd love to hop a plan tomorrow, but I'm a full-time English teacher (don't laugh at that; I know I make mistakes too, right?) and I retire in June...and then, all my family is coming for a reunion in July--which is not a great time for me to walk the camino, mild recluse that I am (but great at a party, just need two glasses of wine and I'll be singing).
SO! and here's the query: what do you think? I have good flight insurance, and am very, very tempted to depart 10 September, and get an 18-day jump on my walk. What do you think? Earlier in September, or aim for later, as it is booked now?
I love hot weather, and it could still be warm on the Meseta in September, right? but also in early October?
Waiting eagerly to hear from you experienced walkers < 3 And love and thank you in advance.
