hi, i have walked with my dad and youngest sister for two weeks.. the next year i walked with dad for one week and last year i walked the full 5 weeks with my sister,we are quite different and none of us had done anything like this so we didnt know what to expect,(first walk was a surprise...
hi ,you said nothing can prepare you for whats about to happen and you are so so right it will be the best thing you have ever done ! my advice would be to be mindful of others , and smile and be open to chat with EVERYBODY not just the people in your normal age/professional /nationality...
you are not crazy,,it will be wonderful and unless you go out of your way to be alone you will meet plenty of great people to chat with ,walk with and dine with if you wish !rest assured this is the best place in the world to just smile and it will be returned a hundred fold !
thats so awful,, you may have really really needed those meds ,if you had not been able to replace them it could have been life threatening !!i really hope the rest of your camino goes well ,difficult not to let this hang over you in a very bad way,,well done for not sounding too angry.lesson...
cant believe it , the last couple of weeks have flown by,got my Irish pilgrims passport, dug out my backpack last night, cant wait ,still nervous and excited,sadly not much chance to train, but will be taking it easy.
some poor people seem to hit with awful events and to have them hit you all at once is terrible,, i really feel for you ,i hope the doc gives you the all clear so you can try to do the walk and maybe give your mind a much needed break.
thats a very kind gesture,i always hope that what you give you should recieve,ie people get what they deserve ! if that is the case you should have a great trip.
i was walking with my dad[ 63yrs old with heart issues] last yr myself and the rest of the family were insisting on us staying in orrison,so i had a room booked, we arrived early[before 11] and dad got bored and would not settle and pushed me into going onwards ,so i asked if i may cancel the...
When was it you wanted a dog sitter?
i was in a bit of a pickle as putting two dogs into kennels for 6 weeks would cost a fortune and the older dog [an irish wolfhound] would hate it,a put an ad on a house sitting site and wow i was amazed by the responses i got from americans wanting to...
so much to do before i can even think about packing or training walks,i found an american couple that wish to visit ireland and are happy to mind my hairy hounds.this is great except i have to try to get my house up to scratch for guests?so am painting and trying to do something with the...
hi Jacqueline, i didnt make a booking at orrison,i think we will arrive early enough in san jean to have a good look around on the 10th and if we leave the albergue about 7 the next morning [which is about normal i think]we should arrive at orrison about 11 ,from what i remember there is nothing...
hi linda, we would be delighted to bump into you guys,i got my forum badge last week so we will put them on our packs!keep an eye out for two super happy looking ladies,i am 42yrs my sis is only 33,, :D
so funny to hear you say "next time around "when you have one in front to face yet! its very addictive this camino lark!! good job there is plenty of company in this obsession;)
cheers clearskies, i looked at ulteria which looked great but rooms were limited[due to my delay in booking],but a bed is a bed :) and the aubergue du pelerin looks pretty good,you have been a great help its a shame you will be heading out before us, we cant wait, linda n i only decieded to do...
i had heard about these guys, cant wait to see how they got on,am sure they had tons of support along the way,would have been amazing to have met them ! i hope they had the the most amazing time they are the kind of people that inspire and give hope that will last a life time,
thanks for that "clearskies"I did have doubts but wanted to double check ,so back to the plan A which is to stay in san jean,,its all so exciting,,thanks again,
quick question , I arrive into birritz on wed 10th at 12.55 since you have done this a few time in your opinion would I be able to get to sjpdp in time to walk to orrison before 6.30 I would like to book orrison but they said I must arrive by 6.30?
