    The Camino will provide?

    I, too, can experience frustration at the use (abuse?) of the phrase "the Camino provides." On the one hand, it does - in so many ways, most of which have already been mentioned in all of these thoughtful replies. I love that about the Camino. But I walk expecting it to provide lessons and...

    National passport in card form

    I don't know if you will find this helpful, BUT... I made a color copy of the info page of my US passport and laminated it. My passport stayed safely secured, and I was able to use that laminated card to check in everywhere along the Camino and in the hotel in Madrid afterwards.

    Corkscrew do I take one with me?

    I had thought to bring my Swiss Army knife, but found it too heavy for "just in case." Instead, I brought a corkscrew similar to this. It weighed almost nothing, but I did in fact need both the corkscrew and the little blade. This and my titanium spork, and I was covered!

    Best 5-6 Day Route for Last 100-120km in September

    It certainly didn't feel like that... There was asphalt, yes, but lots of beautiful wooded paths, passing through farmland, etc. We loved it. Hope you find what you are looking for!

    Best 5-6 Day Route for Last 100-120km in September

    I would vote for the Inglés (which I just completed last month) simply because your time frame allows you to complete the entire Camino, rather than just the "last 100-120km." The Inglés is lovely, and not crowded.

    Help Getting Portuguese Pilgrim Credential?

    It's just posting to one house. And of course I have considered picking them up in Lisbon, and if need be, I will. As I said, I have OCD, so I prefer to have things in place. So it never hurts to ask, does it?

    A little whining...

    I saw that - what a nightmare for you! To be fair, as a handicapped old fat lady, my "dashes" aren't as "dashy" as other people's might be!
