<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can send luggage to the Post Office In
Santiago. I do not have the address handy. I will try and find the address for
you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the train you can book one maybe two days
before travelling to ensure a seat. I think it's about 50 Euros for a first
class seat and a little more leg room and about 30 Euros for a second class
seat. I walked the camino last year in late APril and booked my return to Madrid
when I arrived in Santiago. The prices are laast years prices so I'm not sure
how much they would have fluctuated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Beginning camino May 3 or 4 and would
like to ship luggage from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago. Plan to
travel on overnight train to Madrid from Santiago. Has any one
experienced that train? How early do I make reservations? Could be
full like many of the hotels. Please provide info on hotels in Santiago. The
recommended Costa Vella has no rooms on my determinded? date of arrival.
Thanks, Wanda</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are the Miller's from Essex, CT; Alan, and
my wife Clara Gonzalez de Miller (originally from Barcelona). I am
retired from the Coast Guard with 26 years of service, and Oakland
University (Michigan) where I served as Director of Campus Facilities &
Operations. Clara was in Real Estate for a number of year. After
visiting Paris for a few days, and taking the train to St Jean-Pied-de-Port,
we will start the Camino on May 25th; hoping to finish by the end of
June. We will be joined by my sister Marla Keesee (Registrar at
Santa Monica University) of Newbury Park, California. First trip
question is advise on how best to ship a suitcase from either Paris or St
Jean to Jaca, Spain (where my wife has relatives, and is planning to spend a
few weeks after the Camino)? Second, what is the best way to travel
from Santiago to Madrid. Does Iberia offer a discount if the
compostela is shown? Third, advise on how much to donate at the
refugios. Buen Camino!</FONT></DIV>
