      jabrown reacted to HBS60's post in the thread If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do? with Like Like.
      Being that I’m a newbie “pre-pilgrim”, as I am preparing for my first Camino this coming August, I’ve felt somewhat disheartened by all these posts about bed races, crowding, etc. To be clear, I will not back down from my intention of walking...

      jabrown reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do? with Like Like.
      This is only my opinion and suggestion and if you don't agree or like it that is fine and dandy. It will not bother me in the least. For days we have been seeing posts about too many pilgrims, bottlenecks, bed races, etc. I know many first time...

      jabrown reacted to tjz's post in the thread Food on Sundays with Like Like.
      I don't remember specific towns, but we have been caught more than once unable to buy groceries on a Sunday. We have always just stopped when convenient the next day and stocked up then. As @trecile mentions, there has always been a bar or...

      jabrown reacted to SunCity's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Yes… in 2015 walked the Camino Frances. After we walked it we realized we needed very little to be happy. We sold our house and downsized moving into an apartment.

      jabrown reacted to John Sikora's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      First of all, I am an agnostic and a true cynic. That said, the Camino did make a fundamental change in both my life and the way that I look at things. I've lost about 40 pounds by walking Caminos. I've also taken a much better attitude towards...

      jabrown reacted to trecile's post in the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice with Like Like.
      The easy and obvious solution is to start closer to Santiago. And I find that since my only "job" on the Camino is to walk from point A to point B that I can walk farther on the Camino than I can at home where I have a dozen other tasks that I...

      jabrown reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Booking return flights! with Like Like.
      We always book round trip. Our first Camino we flew in and out of Paris and gave ourselves about 2 months total. Lots of people take much less time than that. We booked a flight from Santiago for the return. We flew to Paris. Spent a night for...

      jabrown reacted to TheBigT's post in the thread A Camino medical tale with a few lessons with Like Like.
      Hey guys, I have just returned home to Canada early from the Camino Frances and thought my story might help others. I left Canada on Feb 29th and started walking on March 4 in Leon. I had done SJPP to Leon last spring and my plan was to...

      jabrown reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread small town magic with Like Like.
      I know I get easily confused but you've got 11 days? 5 of which will take you from Ferrol to Santiago? You are planning a bus tour of the Norte? You might do better using the FEVE narrow gauge railway that parallels the Norte...
