Our Iberia flight #6166 leaves Logan Airport in Boston tomorrow night at 6:25 pm (or as we soon will be denoting clock time, at "18:25") and arrives in beautiful Madrid on early Friday morning. While we've been trying for the last couple of weeks to pre-set our body clocks by going to bed at 9 pm and getting up at 5 am, there still will be a 5 hour time shift. When we land in Madrid, our bodies will still think is 1:25 am but the world around us will be five hours later.
We're carrying everything we will need for the next two weeks on our backs, so "light" is the operative word when considering stuff to bring. Also for some or all of the 70-odd miles we're walking, all that stuff will be on our backs- and some of those miles are uphill. Having done this before for the past four years in similar trips in Spain and England, we're getting pretty good at "cutting out and packing in"!
