    Iceland raises Bardarbunga volcano threat level alert to orange

    We're in Iceland for 18 hours......come this Monday. I'm hoping that the worse that can happen, will be an interesting story for my grandchildren. Already lived through one volcanic episode.....Mt St Helens in '82....looking to spend some time in the hot springs, not a volcanic ash mud bath...

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    Thank you for the insight. I appreciate you sharing with me your personal experience. Perhaps I should put a sign on my back on my way to SJPP...."bed for rent, one night, Orisson"? Practical advice, but not really 'my style'. Yet I thank you for your thought. Best to you.....

    Ladies Only

    Your posting touched my heart. I, too, have had acrylic nails for almost ten years. Last week, my manicurist cut my nails very short and applied a very thin coat of acrylic with clear nail polish in preparation for my September camino. I will be carrying a nail file in my backpack. For me...

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    oh. that is an interesting suggestion. Not ideal, but a legitimate possibility. My spot in Orission was paid for months ago. I was wondering if I could negotiate to get my money back, in an effort to stay with my daughter, but not wanting a stressful dialogue with the shopkeepers of...

    walking in September 2014

    I saw that......easy jet. Yet I chose the train instead.....as I thought I might like to see the countryside. Five hour train ride to Biarritz, will be arriving on Sept 2. We are staying the night. I hope to visit the Rock of the Virgin before leaving for SJPP on Sept 3. Doable?

    I reserved a bed in Orrison on Sept 4-5, but my daughter has decided to join me on the Camino......and I have been told that Orrison is has no bed available to her. I am looking for advice as to perhaps a bed for her in the evening on that night.

    From Lourdes To Santiago

    I thought of visiting Lourdes before taking off from SJPP in September 2014. Buen Camino, Mario. Don't be too hard on yourself.

    I am in Spokane, a little north, in Chattaroy. My daughter and I are spending a week in Paris, before leaving SJPP in early September. Our return tickets out of Paris have been purchased for the third week in October. I hope to do the Wonderland Trail around Mt Rainier in early August. I...

    New blog: "Seattle to Santiago"

    While I am from eastern Washington, I am flying out of Seattle in late August for my Camino in August. May you find inspiration, hope and strength as you prepare for your own Camino. Ultreia!
