    Advice for SJPP and next day to Orrison

    So, I believe what I will plan on doing is starting early and going to Orission. I think I will then head back down to SJPP. Stay the night again in SJPP and take a taxi to Orission the next day. I very highly doubt I can do the whole stretch to Roncesvalles. Does this sound whacky?? Also, I...

    Advice for SJPP and next day to Orrison

    Thank you. Yes, got the inhaler. My pack is kind of large on the liter-side but it is a ULA circuit and is 39 ounces. It is my hiking pack and I love it. I don't want to spend anymore money getting a smaller pack. Because of my scoliosis it was very hard to find one that fit just right and this...

    Advice for SJPP and next day to Orrison

    This will be my first journey after some medical issues I have had recently. I thought it best to start slowly and thought stopping at Orisson would be a good idea for me. Also, even in tip top shape I am a slow hiker/walker. I have asthma/compressed lungs and two metal rods in my back.

    Advice for SJPP and next day to Orrison

    Thank you...that's kind of what I wanted to know. I'm from NY and I am a burnt out social worker. I'm quite jaded and discouraged. So when a stranger offers a ride my mind immediately goes to bad places....I'm hoping to get back to who I use to be and regain some faith in myself...and humanity.

Booking is taking my reservation but 3 times now I have received an email after booking that has come directly from the booked place saying they are sorry but they are full. That is my problem. I have been in direct contact through email with Orisson also and they...

    The problem I've run into is that I book through Booking.com but then receive direct email from Gite saying they have no beds.

    I arrive in Biarritz on August 31 (this year). I am coming from New York through Paris. I have tickets to return on Oct 18th. What do you think about the Gite Antton which it seems is neither right in SJPP ? Thanks :)

    Advice for SJPP and next day to Orrison

    Hello all ! I'm very new to all of this. I just made the decision to do the Camino and I'm finding that maybe I needed a little more planning time, however, the plane tickets are already purchased. I booked my first night in SJPP through bookings.com and heard back from gite azkorria that they...

    I am from Upstate, NY also. I am starting on Sept 1,st....or so I thought...but now I can't find any accomodations in SJPP or in Orisson. The decision to do this was just made. I didn't know I'd need longer to plan.
