Our final shakedown was to arrange our packs, poles, shoes, and umbrella in a large duffel bag and check it all onto a flight headed for Sacramento.
Normally, we don’t check luggage when flying and travel with only carry-ons. However, TSA doesn’t permit trekking poles to be carried onto a flight, and since they are a must have for our walk across Spain, we were forced to check a bag.
The shakedown was a success…the duffel made it to Sacramento and back to Indiana and in one piece. Some wear, but one piece.
With the final shakedown is complete and successful, we are ready for the journey to begin.
Only 6 more days!!!
