    getting set up with cell phone in France

    Thanks for this. I`m from Canada but living in Japan. I think here too, phones are generally locked and the same logic applies. I understand that it`s possible, however, to get unlocked phones, so I`m asking around here to see if it`s worth getting a phone here that I can easily use once I come...

    getting set up with cell phone in France

    Thanks so much for your tips, and for the thread. I hadn`t seen that one. It answers several of my questions.

    getting set up with cell phone in France

    Clara here. I just started this new thread and then thought of another question. I will arrive in Paris in the evening, and am hoping to take a train the next day. I presume I can get set up with a cell phone anywhere these days, right? I don`t have to be in Paris, or another major city, do I...

    getting set up with cell phone in France

    I hope to be walking in France in August /some September perhaps along part of the Le Puy route GR65, with a donkey. I walked the full route to SJPP a few years ago (without donkey) and didn`t have a phone, and was inconvenienced because really there were virtually no pay phones (I was shocked)...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    Clara here. I started this thread but haven`t been on it in awhile. Notices of new responses stopped coming to my ebox, so I come on once-in-awhile to take a look. BTW, if you`re around, Newfydog, I`d love to hear from you about your donkey trip (s). Anyway, I`ve decided to start with 2 weeks of...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    Dear Gauvins, Thanks so much for your comments. I was hoping to be in touch with you given some of the references to you in this link. I haven`t visited this thread in awhile because I understood that I would be informed of any new responses, but have not gotten any word in awhile so I thought...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    That all sounds wonderful (about the donkeys, and that you will share your experiences with me), and I really look forward to hearing from you when you get back! BTW, I used to kayak in Tofino, Canada where I used to live. My old kayak is still there . . . somewhere. Enjoy your trip.

    traveling with a donkey in France

    I`m back, this time with a technical question. Each time I want to reply to someone on this thread, I press the "reply" button. It seems to move the text I`m responding to down to the bottom, or somewhere else anyway. Then, once I`m done, I press "Post Reply" and my words whizz off into...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    Please read my reply to SixWheeler below as it applies here in terms of overall expense (I hadn`t seen your comment at that time). I have to research my claim that it may be cheaper on the GR 65 because of the "credential", because if that`s not true, I am not fixed on the idea of returning to...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    It is a thought. I do have a practical concern, and that is that on the Chemin de St. Jacques, I am entitled to a "credentiel" as pilgrim, and that allows me to stay at the cheap gites only open to pilgrims. This is less an issue in France, if I remember correctly, but still often an issue...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    Thanks so much, for these offerings. I watched the video and read the two articles, all so so lovely and tantalizing. Walking with a donkey in a similar way is still for me at the fantasy stage, but I am storing up information of all kinds and pondering the logistical challenges, which are...

    traveling with a donkey in France

    When I walked the Le Puy route, I too met a few walkers with donkeys, and all seemed well, especially a father, his daughter, and donkey named, Rudy. I met them about 3 times, and fell in love with Rudy, especially (also the father and daughter) and really thought I`d love to travel this way the...
