行前點滴
終於要去Camino了，日期訂在9/24-11/20，全程共58天！
從4月想要去便開始邀人，大部分人都是說說而已，真要訂機票確認，又理由太多，去不成了。沒想到最後成行的，竟是意外認識爬山的「山友」，共4人，完美的人數及組合。我建議大家，既然飛一趟，等走完後，可以順便旅遊一下南法。
本來還有人猶豫要不要去，等我跟大夥「報告」完預定的行程後，大家都安心。我當場建議先訂機票，才算一切底定。大夥用Skyscanner定機票NT33385元。而我因為「全球訂票的浮動價位」，竟花了NT34960元，活生生貴了1575元！訂了馬德里進、尼斯回機票。訂前兩晚在法國聖讓的民宿（9/25-26）：台幣1904元/每人。也訂了Orisson開始走法國第一天民宿(9/27)：台幣1660元/每人。
我也跟大家一再提醒：背包重量是自己體重的十分之一。帶三件換洗快乾衣物就夠了。夥伴中有人甚至夢見已經走在 Camino 路上了，竟然笑著醒過來，睡不著了，因為這是她退休最好的禮物。她笑說，一定要跟所有剛退休的人分享。
7/09 Pre-trip Tips
Finally, we will go to Camino!
Dates: 9/24–11/20 — a total of 58 days.
I have been inviting people since I wanted to go in April. Most of the people just talked about it. I really wanted to book a flight to confirm, but there were too many reasons not to go. I didn’t expect that the people who finally made the trip with me would be my “hiking friends” — those who hike frequently. It turned out to be the perfect number and combination.
I suggested that since we were flying there, we could make a trip to southern France after the Camino. At first, some people were hesitant to go, but after I “reported” the scheduled itinerary to everyone, they felt at ease. I suggested on the spot that we book the air tickets first, even before everything was settled.
Everyone used Skyscanner to book flights for NT$33,385. Because of the “floating price of global bookings,” I actually spent NT$34,960 — NT$1,575 more — but that’s not a problem for me! I don’t let small problems get in the way of a bigger dream.
I booked air tickets to Madrid and back from Nice. I also booked a B&B in Saint-Jean, France, for the first two nights (9/25–26) at ?52 per person, and Orisson B&B for the first day in France (9/27) at ?46 per person.
I repeatedly reminded everyone that the weight of a backpack must be one-tenth of one’s own body weight. Just bring three changes of quick-drying clothes. One of the companions, YuPen, even dreamed of walking on the Camino and woke up laughing so hard that she couldn’t sleep. She was definitely excited! She said this would be the best gift for her retirement, and she wanted to share it with all the newly retired people.
