Getwood replied to the thread When do we NOT want to start in May 2025 (from SJPdP)?.I've used the Paris --> Biarritz --> Express Bourricot shuttle to SJPdP before, and liked it. I also stayed overnight in Paris (at the CDG Ibis in Roissypôle [also known as the area adjacent Terminal 3]) to make the last flight leg easier and... -
Getwood replied to the thread When do we NOT want to start in May 2025 (from SJPdP)?.For reasons I had explained to me and then promptly forgot, surprising numbers of strikes in France occur on Tuesdays and last exactly one day, so if you can avoid public transportation on Tuesdays, you should be good to go.

Getwood replied to the thread When do we NOT want to start in May 2025 (from SJPdP)?.I reserved all the way from SJPdP through Logroño, and was glad I did.

Getwood replied to the thread Mountaineering backpack 35 liters , Worth Buying?.I was thinking ultralight myself, but then went to Breathe Outdoors (an Alberta-based company) and got their head backpack techie to help me out on a slow day. The ultralights were not comfortable; I ended up getting a Mystery Ranch pack instead...

Getwood replied to the thread Chlorhexidibe Spray.I just use isopropyl alcohol pads. You can get a 100-pack of 'em for around $5.00 CDN where I live. Particularly useful for sterilizing feet on/around a blister prior to applying a Compeed blister pad (for example). Bonus: the alcohol helps...

Getwood replied to the thread Share shuttle Biarritz to St. Jean - June 6, 2025.I booked EB for a shuttle from Biarritz airport in mid-September of this year, and at the time of booking (about a month before) I was the only passenger. By the time I actually arrived at Biarritz, three others had joined me, and a fourth was...
