This is just a word of comfort, you will be ok and early morning I am sure you will be assisted. I do get disappointed when others make remarks that are not supportive when someone is seeking help. We have all been there at some point ,
As others have stated,yes you can , and I always write the names ahead of time on a paper so the spelling of the names is correct. They do a beautiful job doing this on the Compostelas
I had a wonderful experience in the church in Grañon albergue in May of 2012 with Tom , I took the training thru APOC in 2013 and volunteered in the pilgrim office last year. He was from Canada. It is a great experience to give back! Buen Camino
The restoration continues inside and outside for another 4 years and there is A LOT of scaffolds. I am glad I was there before they started, during and hopefully see it completed.
If you are in Villafranca de Montes de Oca , and stay at San Anton Abad, early am ,the bus goes from the bus stop to the right of the hotel/alburgue, to Burgos. Then go to Santiago from Burgos. I took that bus in May of '12.
I loved starting in Pamplona May of 2012! Visited again last October 2013. It is great to start there slowly and take your time to get to Santiago. You can always walk over the Pyrennes another time on another Camino. There are no rules on where to start!

I arrived safely in negreira last eve after a very long tough walk UP that hill! There is a wonderful greeting stand as you walk in and handouts of all new and up to date info. Stop here when you get in. Buen camino
Happy Easter! I start walking from Pamplona in the morning of May 3, so I may meet you on the Camino. I have my patch on my bag with another patch of a walking sock monkey. I walk very "Relaxed" so I may see you! Buen Camino.
HI! I am arriving in Pamplona on May 2 and starting my Camino following morning. I am female travelling solo from Phoenix Arizona. I have my forum patch on my Osprey 24L turqouis pack. My pack weighs 9 1/2 lbs with no water now and all my needs are ultra light! I plan on layering as needed! See...
