The Road to Roncesvalles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The time has come where I’m checking flight prices every Tuesday. Today, for the first time, I found a round-trip ticket to Madrid for our dates for less than a thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

My goal is $800 or less. That should happen sometime near the middle or end of July.<\/p>\n

Once we have flight times in place, I can order bus or train tickets from Madrid to Pamplona.<\/p>\n

Once I have a Pamplona arrival time, I can book Pensi\u00f3n Coraz\u00f3n Puro<\/a> to get us over our jet-lag and into Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.<\/p>\n

Only then will I feel comfortable booking our room at Beilari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

God willing, we should arrive back in Pamplona by foot on 1 April, 2016.<\/p>\n
