YOW it's a long way from Santiago de Compostella to Geneva... I'm checking with my uncle to see if staying until Tuesday (and therefore not having to leave Santiago de Compostella until Friday) would be possible.

For ease of reference, here's Paul's travel plans:

Thursday, March 28: dep. JFK 9:30 pm
Friday, March 29: arr. LHR 9:25 am
Friday, March 29: dep. LHR 6:50 pm
Friday, March 29: arr. MAD 10:10pm

Sunday, April 14: dep. MAD 2:20 pm
Sunday, April 14: arr. LHR 3:40 pm
Sunday, April 14: dep. LHR 6:30 pm
Sunday, April 14: arr. JFK 9:15 pm

Here’s a Plan of sorts -

Sun 31 Mar in Madrid (PG TL, PC arrives in evening)
Mon 1 April in Madrid (PG, PC, TL, KBG arrives in morning)
Tu 2 April see Madrid *. Kelly’s guide book suggested historic walks (PG, PC, TL, KBG)
Wed 3 April to a point TBD in northeastern Spain
Thu 4 April in SdC
Fri 5 April PC takes night train to Madrid **
Sat 6 April PC flies out, 1310.

* If Kelly wants to spend more time looking at medieval pilgrmage routes, and not see much of Madrid (or put it off till later), that Tu-Wed-Thu schedule becomes:

Tu 2 April to a point TBD in northeastern Spain
Wed 3 April looking at pilgrimage routes, northeastern Spain
Thu 4 April in SdC

I’d be happy with this; prefer it, come to think of it.

** yes, this exists:
