I fly in from Baltimore at 11:30 a.m. on August 4th and haven't decided on where to stay and the train to take from Paris out to SJJ. So far, I closed my eyes and pushed computer key to book one way ticket to start this and now am a little panicky@AMoore63 where are you flying from, and when do you arrive in Paris?
Thank you...Exactly what I was thinkingHello,
I re-read this thread with your concerns and this is what I would do:
1. You arrive at CDG from Baltimore, MD at 11:30am. Please factor customs and terminal change. Book a flight to Biarritz via Air France/EasyJet/etc leaving around 2 to 3pm the same day out of CDG. The flight is a little over an hour.
2. Arrive Biarritz and take train/bus to SJPP. This has you arriving in the 5pm range.
3. Pre-book your SJPP lodging on Booking.com or via website for 2 nights. Then you have 1 day in SJPP to adjust, get any credentials you need and just ready yourself for the start of your Camino. There is a hostel albergue that also allows you to stay 2 nights and you can request this as well when you book. They talk about this on their wesbite. http://www.beilari.info/en/our-hostel Booking.com also has several choices for nights on your date.
I think going into Paris and back out of Paris feels like a bit of overload for you if the Camino is your goal.
I am still not sure how I am traveling from Paris on night of Aug 5th or daytime Aug 6th after staying a night or two. I also am a little confused about the beginning from SJDPP to the first overnight. I have several questions. First, is the train from Paris something to take because of nice scenery or if not, or is it worth saving some time to take a night train or bus or fly? I am running out of time for planning and getting a bit scared. Should I book my first night on the Camino and where should that be? Roncesvalles? I have read others talking about various other places so I am a little confused. I would like to know what I should plan on doing upon arriving in SJDPP. Thank you in advance for any help figuring this out!
