Ideal route for a 15-day camino in October?
We walked Primitivo this summer as we only had 2 weeks- we (husband and I) finished in 13 days. I thought it was much more difficult due to the hills than the Full French way that I completed the summer before (solo). Religiously speaking- I enjoyed the evening Mass along the French way that...- NebraskaKate

Frivolous debate - swimsuit vs 3rd set of undergarments
Two caminos: French and Primitivo ; Took 3 pairs of undergarments AND the swimsuit (lol) Hardly wore the swimsuit- I would choose to lose the swim suit over the underwear... Sometimes I did wear the swimsuit while I waited for laundry bc all 3 pairs were dirty. I really loved having a 3 day...- NebraskaKate

Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?
I am a vegetarian. I walked Primitivo in July. (I also walked French way last year). Yes it is possible- I did find in general less places to buy food/ sometimes only 1 stop in the day on the Primitivo and so planning is helpful for everyone who walks. Rule #1 Learn how to say Vegetarian in...- NebraskaKate

Size of dry bags
I actually used the littleTSA approved toiletry bags - I can zip an entire outfit in there-I liked this as it kept my dirty smelly clothes away from the clean ones, I also had an easy access bag for the airport and used it on the Camino with my daily stuff I might need along the way. I don't...- NebraskaKate

How do I harden my feet?
I am not so sure you want your feet hardened... I had terrible blisters on my first Camino even though I have calloused runner feet- but this year I used Gewohl foot cream before (the recommend two weeks prior) and every night on the Camino. Many people used vaseline every day before putting...- NebraskaKate

Poles on the Plane and Security
We just returned from our Camino and went through 7 different security check-points in the US and Spain with no checked luggage (carried our bags on board). My husband had poles. Five out of seven times they cleared security-that means twice they were denied on board (FYI) They did not clear in...- NebraskaKate

Do I need to learn some Spanish before my camino? Yeah, you probably should...
My Spanish phrases are poor despite my best effort and I think most people appreciated that I tried- I learned the key phrases and even then had some difficulty, but always found a friend willing to help me out and in the hardest of times used google translate, but that was rare. It was fun...- NebraskaKate

Advice please
Cindy- I am sorry to hear of the loss of your parents and hope you are able to go on Camino and that you do find peace there as so many people do. I met pilgrims of all ages and ability- as they say, everyone has their own camino and I believe you want this and you can do it. A luggage transport...- NebraskaKate
