    The Camino is calling me…early planning stage questions

    Allow yourself one full day before you start. It is a long flight and depending where your start, you will have to take additional transportation (van or bus or train or combination of all) to get to where you are starting from. You adenium will have you wanting to start right away but don't...

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    The van was full when I took it. Three of us had reservations and two more people jumped aboard at the airport once they found out that the van was 22 euros and drove straight to SJ. April 25th is 5 weeks away so if I were you, I would check back with them in a couple of weeks.

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    How do you get back to Canada from Santiago? I have flown from Santiago to London, flown Santiago to Madrid, and once (and never, ever again), took the bus from Santiago to Madrid. Then each time flown back to Toronto.

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    I had never thought of flying into Amsterdam. This helps a lot. I have flown into St Jean twice, and into Madrid twice. This sounds very interesting and I am definitely going to look into it. I am really glad that you mentioned it.

    A Little Jittery as I think ahead

    I am also from Canada as my name suggests, lol. I am curious. How do you get from Canada to Bilbao? I am guessing that there is not a direct flight. I have always flown from Toronto to London, England, then flown from London to Biarritz. From there, you can take a bus to Bayonne and catch a...

    Where are all the Americans???

    What I found when I walked the Camino last September is that it was coincidential on who you met. I met two Americans from Texas on my first day and spent my entire Camino walking with them. I only met maybe two Canadians but when I was talking to people from all over the world, they commented...

    ***** MAYBE SILLY QUESTIONS *****

    Urgent Help Needed (as I am flying out tomorow) I am flying my return trip at the end of April, Santiago to London via RyanAir. RyanAir says that you have to print your boarding pass out in advance, 15 days to 4 hours, prior to flying. If you print it out at the airport, there is an extra 40...

    Where are all the Americans???

    My return ticket from Toronto to Biarritz and return is costing just under $1100. This does not include the cost from Niagara Falls to Toronto, or the cost from Biarritz to SJPP. Then there are costs of accommodations, meals, the cost of equipment, etc. I am not complaining - these are just...

    ***** MAYBE SILLY QUESTIONS *****

    I am walking the Camino in March and April. Months of reseach has proven that the cheapest and easy way from Toronto is to take Air France direct flight to Paris. At Paris, you have to change airports (same as London) but Air France has their own shuttle buses. Then still with Air France, fly...

    Crossing from France (SJPP) into Spain?

    Are there any issues with crossing from SJPP into Spain? Is there a border crossing where you have to show passports, have luggage checked, etc? Tim

    Where are all the Americans???

    Just a note on passports, until this year, you did not need a passport if you traveled by land to Canada or Mexico, so even those of us who live along the border didn't get them unless we went elsewhere. Now we need passports to go across to Mexico or Canada for dinner (!), so the percentage of...
