Hi everybody! I love reading that more and more people are wanting to bring their children along for the journey! I walked from Pamplona to Burgos last May, and while i do plan to complete the Camino Francis one day, i find myself planning the Camino Portuguese now so that i can bring my 6 year...
Ah thank you! I'm surprised at how many people were here at 5 am (4 hours before my flight lol)... City life is crazy! I've never been on a plane longer than 7 hours so this should be interesting:)
I'll be leaving from Pamplona the morning of the 8th... I'm beginning there and going as far as I can in 2 weeks! I'm sure we'll pass each other at some point:) Buen Camino!
Sean, I will be in pamplona on the 7th! Traveling from Idaho! We are practically neighbors:) I'll probably be a slower pace...I didn't get as much training in as I hoped to! Look for the teal green osprey packer:) Buen camino!
Thanks Alyssa! Yes Idaho is amazing! I often find solace and serenity here:) I too would like to visit all the other places posted on here! 13 days til Spain! Yay!
monday I climbed a local mountain that we call "Quigly". Kicked my behind! My little home town is in the pic:) Idaho is beautiful! After getting back to my car 2 hours later, I realized that I am not in good of shape as I thought! God be with me. Only 2.5 weeks til my journey!
I am having similar anxiety but I am not leaving my husband, I am leaving my 5 year old daughter:( I have not been away from her for more than one night since she was born! I do find comfort that she will be on vacation with her Nana and Papa, but I am worried that I won't be able to talk to her...
Hi Annie! What beautiful photos! I had heard from a friend about the fields of red poppies:) my question.... Were you able to eat the wild strawberries? Yum!

Hi Dan! I also start from Pamplona on May 8th... I have booked a bed at the Aloha Hostel Pamplona for €18... They have been very kind in returning my emails right away:) I sent my trekking poles in the mail to them yesterday since I cannot bring them in my carry-on from Los Angeles. It is easy...
Wow, many thank you's! By reading of all your personal experiences, I can almost see it myself:) I will keep these all written down for reference on my journey:) buenos Noches mi Amigos!
Thank you Annelise:) I'm 36.. Semi fit and a mother of a very actively rambunctious 5 year old :) I don't have any expectations on my abilities, if I don't make it as far as I hope, then I'm ok with that. Holy cow I am so excited!!! Thanks for the heads up on the Albergues:)
Hi everybody! Only 5 weeks until I begin from Pamplona to Burgos ( I will return for more)!!! I have written out my itinerary (God willing)... These are the towns I plan to stay in and the Albergues I have thought to go to...any advice/recommendations?....
Day 1) Puente la Reina...alb Santiago...
Hello Antonio,
I feel your pain and I hope the Camino gives you what you need to heal. I wouldn't say I've fought depression... But for most of my life I have been broken. I have recently had the blessing of finding myself again, and am slowly glueing myself back together... Piece by piece, one...
