    Water

    Lise: Didn't realize about the question. No, I have absolutely no aftertaste from cleaning bladders in this way. Yes, DON'T DRINK the used water! You pour it out and refill it. Also, longterm, it is recommended to put your bladders empty in the freezer to keep organisms from growing between...

    Water

    We carried 1L bottles that we would buy along the way and an old Gatorage bottle from the States. You can recycle the bottles after a few days and not worry as much about cleaning the bladders. I also got a holster for the bottle that attached to my pack waistbelt so I would have water readily...

    First Time Pilgrim from the US

    My comment was only in response to the stereotypical reaction to an American when they see their first No. European walking through the albergue in his underwear... ... and the lack of McDonald's in every town. And why don't more people in Spain speak American? ;) Rambler

    First Time Pilgrim from the US

    Welcome Meghan! I am from Atlanta and did it last summer. Wish I had your situation and could take as long as I wanted. There is plenty of information here. Read the FAQs, some of the posts and then ask away your questions. Living in the Czech Republic, you will not have the typical American...

    Class of 2009

    Arn: I hope you are writing a book!!! I want a signed copy. Glad to see you back on the forum. Ivar: Make sure you have some spare mailing tubes on sale in your office. I also used a mailing tube to bring my poles and WMDs through the airline. In Leon, I had the grand Idea of mailing the tube...

    Sag: I had to laugh at your comment. The song was written at the time that women did not attend Georgia Tech, so all they could do was go to football games and cheer. The university has decided not to change the words to make them more politically correct, yet. I am suprised there were no...

    Sorry for not replying earlier. The Ramblin Wreck is the mascot of Georgia Tech, a university in Atlanta. It is an early 20s Ford Model A Coupe that is driven onto all the home American Football games held in Atlanta. The university is primarily an engineering school, so as part of the fight...

    My forum name comes from my university mascot: The Ramblin Wreck. If you want that story, just ask, but I won't bore you here. I felt it was an appropriate moniker because I like to walk, and I have been known to drone on aimlessly in discussion by myself to the point ... that no one... is...

    We are in the same boat and chose to start in Leon and go to Santiago. That should be 12-14 days. Hope this helps. Rambler

    Why do it?

    I plan to walk the Camino with my teenage daughter. I have several reasons to want to walk it and I am sure she has ones that are different from mine. One is that this may be one of the last times that she and I get to spend extended time together experiencing something challenging and...

    Future Pilgrims

    Thanks. Reading the responses from other parents means alot. Thanks. The more I look at pictures of the actual trail the more I wonder if it would be better to try and bike the whole distance. We are not big bikers, but it looks that you can cover more ground and have more flexibility. But...

My name is Rambler and my daughter and I have been planning to walk the Camino for the last several years. We are from the US (Atlanta) and learned of the...
