oh,...... and I should mention, as others have mentioned to me,......... don't sweat the small stuff. High heels likely won't work, but people have been walking this camino for generations. Grab a pair of any good walking shoes and you will find your way to Santiago.
where are you located?
should you decide you need a sleeping bag, that could be a borrowed. my wife and I both ended up buying Merrell shoes after purchasing and returning other shoes previously. these appear to be PERFECT for our feet. if you have an REI store near you, it is worth spending a couple of extra bucks...
josie, it's either $3 or $4 per per person to use the park. If you walk all the time, it's cheaper to pay $40 for the household for the yearly pass.
FYI. maybe we'll run into you out there.
my wife and I live in Temecula. We have been hiking every weekend up at the Santa Rosa Plateau. it's gorgeous, and the terrain is varied, so you get a bit of a workout while training. It's a bit of a drive for you, but thought I would share the option.

Stephen, my wife and I just got back from a trip to Paris and the process of getting through customs was brief. I would guesstimate that from landing to exiting the airport was about 45 minutes. My only suggestion is that you research in advance, a secondary train departure time so that you can...
My wife, daughter and I just got done watching the video and are so thankful that you shared it. We are now 20 months away from our journey and we speak of it like it is coming up next weekend. While the journey looks amazing and your storytelling is lovely, I personally loved how you spoke of...
www.forwalk.org is the one that was recommended to me. It has all the routes. the elevation changes. the accommodations. restaurants. sites.
