July 6th Dublin-Atlanta-Wilmington

 Long travel day. As the pilot says “A short 8 hour flight”. Waiting in a airport is always fun. Luckily we could check all our bags so only a small carryon to deal with.

Part of the airport fun  


Saying goodbye to Ireland. 



But they did have a couple of movies I liked. 
“Michael” about Michael Jackson of course and “Deliver me from Nowhere”
About Bruce Springsteen
One was uplifting and the other depressing. But they filled the time.





We are now trying to get on an earlier flight by standby, but it doesn’t look good. We shall see. 
We saw and are waiting for the 9:28 pm flight. Our bags went on the earlier one so we won’t have to wait for them. 
Mary Ann insists that no matter how much they offer, we are not giving up our seats. 

 So here we are waiting to catch up with our luggage already in Wilmington . No plane at the gate yet. But we will get home tonight. 

Delayed delayed. 
Peace.

 May 5th 2026 On May 16th, I leave for Madrid, Spain to begin my journey on the last part of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. My son Gary will be joining me for the pilgrimage walk. It is just the last 116km (60 miles). I have a couple of places on the Camino to visit before reaching Sarria, which I will notate. The real pilgrimage for us starts in Sarria. After the Camino, Gary goes back home, and I am meeting Mary Ann, (who will have been in Florence, Italy) in San Sebastian, Spain for two nights.  Then off to France, where Jessica now lives near Grenoble and then Scotland (10 days)and lastly but not least Ireland (9 days). One last hurrah in Europe. Or so we think.

 Well the day started quiet enough walking the Camino. That means a hugh uphill walk and very few places to stop for drinks. By now I am forwarding most of my stuff and only using a very small light backpack. Thank you Linda.  After about 9 of the 12 miles for that day ( And who is counting) I began to feel like I was drunk and attributed it to a combo of beer and pain killers. I guess other hikers did not. There are not a lot of places to sit and rest on this portion of the Camino. So when I sat in one spot a bunch of ladies asked if I was OK. Of course I gave them my standard reply. Just “old and slow”. They tried to help me walk further but I was not steady on my feet. So I sat down again Me sitting Feeling fine. They insisted on calling an ambulance and I didn’t have much choice as this one lady had taken charge Ambulance coming to get me.  My ambulance companion Riding in the ambulance.  In the hospital for testing. EKG, blood sugar, BP, pulse. The whole works. ...

​As the song says “All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go”. But not sure if the rest of that song rings true in this case.  I leave Saturday around dinner time to Atlanta, then on a silver bird to Madrid Spain. Direct flight.  I have enclosed photos of what I will have with me for the Camino portion of this adventure. Basically a backpack weighing 12 lbs loaded. The orange blob is my sleeping bag. Borrowed from a dear female friend who did the full Camino 10 years ago. Thank you Linda I don’t think I will be mistaken for a “Camigas”. Lol
