    Mailing/shipping items to another country

    I have a question about mailing a large item to another country from Santiago. I have planned a holiday in a few other countries after my Camino and was thinking to mail a large item from Santiago to Paris, where I would end and fly home from. I would have 2 weeks from the time I leave...

    Walking with children informational group

    I will have to disagree. I don't believe I'm being naive about anything. If having access to information in one place and people to discuss a subject with is naive, then I suppose we should do away with libraries. With that thinking, I would have to ask what the purpose of this group is then...

    I went through the links I saved and you were not a contributor to any of them. Do you have experience walking with children on the Camino and have created a forum, page or blog specifically about this? Please let me know and I will be sure to not to point anyone in the direction of your...

    Walking with children informational group

    Hi Maurice! How exciting for you all! When I walked by myself, I was not looking forward to any rain, but once I was there and walking in it, I actually enjoyed it. So I can see how your son would enjoy it! I came back after and didn't mind walking in the rain anymore, lol. I haven't walked...

    Walking with children informational group

    I have only compiled links to threads, which can be found by spending a little bit of time googling. I have not posted anything taken from any forum, page or blog, only the links to them. I also contacted everyone who's page I posted a link to and let them know I've done this and would remove...

    Walking with children informational group

    Thank you for that. I do love reading about your experiences. I have come across some of the differing opinions in just a couple of the questions I have asked in a couple of different groups. For the most part, most people are encouraging and helpful, but there are some that are not that...

    Walking with children informational group

    Hello! I have created a group in Facebook exclusively for those who are looking for information on walking the Camino with children. I have added many links from discussions on this group so they are in one place and easy to find. This has been one of the best resources for information on...

    Any credit cards?

    I am curious if you can use any type of credit card. I will have cash and use cash machines, but I know there are some places that do take credit cards. Do they have to be a certain type? Like with a chip or only from Europe?

    Camino Frances with 5 Year Old--Am I CRAZY??

    Not something I would personally try to do, but not impossible. I have seen photos of a couple who took their two children with one of these and pulled it. The children were older than five though, and were probably able to pull it at times themselves. Can't see a five year old pulling! lol

    How do I (or do I) make a albergue reservation in St Jean?

    When I went last year I booked online at L'Esprit du Chemin. I was able to find them in Google. I'm sure if you google for a list of albergues in SJPP you can find one to either book online or call :)

    Travel to St. Jean from the USA

    My trip sounded just like whariwharangi's, only I flew from Texas. The cost was about the same as flying into Paris and taking trains to get to SJPP. The only difference was it got me there mid day (about 3:00 pm) rather than at night (about 6:00). So a little more leg work was worth saving 6...

    Walking with a teen?

    Hello :) I walked the Frances route from St. Jean to about Leon last year by myself and have been planning to return with my husband in June 2014 to go all the way to Santiago. I have been seriously considering taking my oldest daughter with us, who will be 15 when we go. Can anyone share...

    Clothing for May/June

    I start my Camino at the end of April 2012, around the 28th, from SJPDP. My date to finish is around the week of June 6th. I'm planning to continue on to Finisterre if I finish early. I have really been wrestling with what I need to take in the way of clothing. I bought myself a couple of...

    Did movie: "The Way" motivate you...

    My first introduction to the Camino was about 11 years ago when my mother lent me a book she had read called "The Camino", by Shirley MacLaine. She thought it was a good read and recommended it. All these years later I think she is regretting that she gave it to me! I couldn't put it down...
