    How did you save the money?

    Re: How did you save the money? For me and my wife the Camino is coming at an ideal time. We are moving to a different state when we come back from the Camino for her schooling, and will be moving out of our apartment and putting everything in storage before we leave (8 days!!). This way, we...

    Flight booked !!!

    Congratulations on booking your tickets!! I just bought mine recently (though for June), so I share your excitement and anxiousness. I too have been testing the weight of my backpack, and obtaining appropriate gear for the long trek. I wish you the absolute best in your Camino planning :)

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    Congrats on finding amazing airfare. Are you thinking of taking the train or fly from Paris? I am so excited to be on the "officially bought plane tickets" stage, but it's sad to know there is so much time left before I can go. Hopefully I run into you at some point. My wife and I will be...

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    That's awesome! Where did you end up booking through? Are you still going in June? I'm looking at beginning my walk around Sunday June 16 or Monday June 17...all depends on which route I take to get there. In any case, buen camino!

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    Actually, yes. You can take a bus from Dusseldorf to Brussels for 27.90 Euros, and then take a Ryanair flight from Brussels to Biarritz. That would be the cheapest option probably...one could also take a bus to Paris and take the train from there or Easyjet...we're having a hard time deciding...

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    I bought my plane tickets through cheapoair.com, but I did my searches through skyscanner.com. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to buy my plane tickets until January-March, but I was just doing daily searches anyway to see if some random low airfare popped up. I was just searching for flights...

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    Thank you everyone for the encouraging words! I too am planning to walk to Finisterre and Muxia from St Jean. I am already feeling a bit of anxiety, but mainly in relation to things regarding my life here when I'm gone. I'm staying positive, though, just knowing things will work out...

    Input on what can be done after you reach the end of the cam

    Here's the website for the place I mentioned that lists their rates: http://www.hostalplayasur.com/joomla/en ... rices.html If you go down to visit some Andalucian beaches, your best bet would be to fly back to the US from Madrid and to take a bus/train from Cadiz to Madrid. The bus we took...

    Input on what can be done after you reach the end of the cam

    The closest airport would be Jerez, followed by Sevilla. Ryanair flies from Santiago to Sevilla and from there it would be a bus ride or train to Cadiz (bus through ALSA, train through RENFE). Or, you could take a bus through ALSA from Santiago to Cadiz. From Cadiz you can take their local bus...

    Input on what can be done after you reach the end of the cam

    My wife and I are walking the Camino June-July and are flying back to the U.S. August 8th (leaving us over a week after our walk to Finisterre/Muxia)...we plan to spend a about 4-5 days on the beach somewhere. We used to live in Spain and while we were there we fell in love with the town Conil...

    June 2013...got tickets already!

    Hey everyone! I don't usually post too often, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a pretty amazing deal arriving in June and returning in August from Los Angeles. Tickets were only $750 into Dusseldorf, and from there my wife and I are taking a bus to Brussels and then flying...

    Days of Rest

    Thanks so much everyone for the input so far! I definitely do not mind paying the extra amount to spend a second night in a hostel or something of the like. It definitely sounds like in some of these mid-sized to larger cities it will not be difficult to find a private room somewhere in order to...

    Days of Rest

    Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to posting on this board, but I have been reading on here for a while planning for my journey next year with a couple of my family members (from SJPdP to Santiago/Finisterre). I'm doing some real generic planning (leaving things more open-ended), but I'm...

    From Madrid to SJPP or Paris SJPP

    I am also planning my trip for next year and flying in from the states. I, too, have spent a considerable amount of time considering how best to arrive and what would be the most convenient route. For me, however, I've decided that the most convenient and most meaningful way to arrive are two...

    movie "Radio Buen Camino" - A R R I V A L

    Re: movie "Radio Buen Camino" - part 1 I really enjoyed these videos. My wife and I are planning to walk the Camino in May 2013, and watching these videos gave me a glimpse of everything we have to look forward to. It looks like we have quite the journey in store for us :-). I can't wait for...

    Class of 2013

    Hello everyone! My wife and I are planning to do the Camino in May of 2013 for a number of reasons. We are high school sweethearts, and we moved to Spain (Madrid) in 2007 when we were 19 years old, despite intense criticism from many people around us. We had some of the best memories living...
