Priced out our Via de la Plata trek today

Time of past OR future Camino
2006 to date: Over 21 Caminos. See signature line
So Joe and I spent the day today booking and pricing our VDLP walk from March 5 to April 14, 2020.
We will walk from Zafra to Astorga, then spend Semana Santa in Segovia, 2 nights in Madrid, then fly home.
We are very excited to finally finish this route which we began in 2009 !!
I picked up a portion of it in 2013 to Caceres, but we're going BACK to Zafra so Joe can pick up his stages.

With airfare, 3 train rides (Madrid to Zafra, Astorga to Segovia, Segovia to Madrid), all of our lodging costs, $30/day each for food (we picnic a lot), and a bit of a buffer for taxis, etc., the grand total comes to about $2325 per person.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Staying at home is not ‘free’, so knock off the airfares and it’s about $300 per person per week? Incremental cost over staying at home, what - $150 per week? You would be crazy not to. Bargain!

I have a blog which I started last year and will continue with - https://wordpress.com/posts/viadelaplata.home.blog
I fly out on 4 Feb to Seville and will get the bus up to Fuente de Cantos and start walking on 5 Feb.

Is there a word I should search on? This just put me at Wordpress but not your blog and not the posts about the VDLP. I also have blog posts about the stretches from Seville to Fuente de Cantos:


And Zafra to Caceres:
