Hello Margaret Lynn, my name is Stephen. I will be starting the 30th from SJPdP and going to Roncesvalles the first day to meet up with a friend to start on the 1st. I have 18 1/2 years by the grace of God and want to continue one day at a time. I have a Spanish phone that I will be carrying, if...
Thanks Liz, I am expecting some additional charges. I usually over insure when I rent in Europe so I don't have problems. I was surprised at the same price regardless of where I picked up, so I expect changes. To be able to see more of the country may be well worth the extra. I really appreciate...
Looking on line it appears that I can pick up in Santiago and drop off in Malaga without a penalty through a company like Avis. But if I have to fly or take a train to Malaga to pick up a car for my stay it will probably be about the same and I will miss the adventure of the trip down by car. My...
Depending on the time I have, I have been thinking about renting a car and driving south, either through Spain or Portugal. I am staying in southern Spain for a while but will be flying out of Malaga at the end. I was in Spain about eight years ago and rented a car the time I was there and...

Look for "Windstopper" gloves for cyclists, the are light weight, warm and have padding. The "normal" riding gloves will be great when warmer weather comes.
Buen Camino Brendan ! Thank you for being a part of all this. I " white knuckled" my first 4 1/2 years of not drinking and did not come into the program until my wife asked for a divorce. I thought that coming in would "fix" her. Dry is not sober ! We did not make it but I found a way of life...
In the first stages of planning this journey I started getting very nervous about my sobriety on the journey. I , too , have been in the program for a while and am very comfortable with who and what I am. I think it was my friend who had gone back out that had about the same amount of time as me...
Anne C, you will do fine. You are meeting people on the forum that are traveling the same time frame you are. If you have access to the internet with all the WiFi contact one of us to talk if you feel the need. Some of us will have Spanish phones, if you do get numbers. Just knowing there is...
