[QUOTE="e.s.bateman, post: 479072, member: 11708"] The title pretty much says it all, but I have some questions. I've done the Camino Frances twice in the past 12 years, so I have some knowledge going into this, but I am nervous and excited at the thought of taking my son with me this time. I plan to try to complete the walk in about 60 days. The soonest we can start is about May 10th, so I anticipate walking until about mid-July. I have read many helpful blogs and threads in this forum about the people that have taken kids, but I also have some more general questions: -- Snacks: My son eats as much as I do, but he has problems with certain foods. He has a severe allergy to salmon, which I don't expect to be too problematic, but he also struggles with certain textures from past allergies. He won't eat granola bars or nuts, which would be my go-to snacks. Any suggestions for good snacks that I could pick up along the way? I will be carrying the load for both of us, so I tend to want more calorie dense/fatty foods for him instead of, say, oranges. -- Dogs: On my last trip, I had a couple of uncomfortable dog incidents. Since my son is smaller, I'm scared a dog might go for him. I would rather not carry a stick to fend them off because of the weight issue again. Any recommendations? Would something like a rape whistle work or should I just get a walking stick? -- Sleeping: I will probably share a bed with him because he will sleep better in albergues when he's close to me. What are the chances that the hospitaleros would give me a two-for-one deal? I don't mind paying more, but I thought it would help me budget if I had an idea. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
