- Time of past OR future Camino
- Flying in to Paris 9/11/12, will work my way to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France to start
Planning April 2014 Camino
Hello!
Thats to all for info on posts. I am starting my trip with little planning (usuall for me) and looking for and advise on something I am missing in my plan that might limit my adventure or experience.
I am from Seattle. been on a Motorcycle trip, bike currently in Florida. Heading up to NYC. I am booking a flight to start Camino leaving NYC 9/11/12, flights are less expensive that day for some reason .
I am thinking of flying in to Paris and just winging it on travel to St Jean Pied de Port starting point. (train, bus etc). I would get a room reserved the first night in Paris just to re-group and get some direction.
I only have a good pair of Ecco Hiking boots, will buy backpack, bag, hiking clothing ect in NY, assuming traveling light is best. In NYC i would apply for same day visa to India.
After doing Camino I was thinking of going to India to work in Mother Therisa's home of dying for 4 to 6 weeks .
Thinking 3 months would be a good amount of time to allow for that and what ever happens.
I was thinking of getting a round trip ticket to Paris (about the same as 1 way) with a Nov or Dec return date, and arange other travel once in Europe.
I have never been to Europe or India but have traveled a little so feel confident, although sure I will face big fears in myself, I think this is a reasonable plan that is do-able and i will learn much along the way.
Any thoughts or advise from my fellow travelers?
