    Good point. I just added it to my packing list. Hadn't thought about the possibility we might need one to get into a pharmacy. On my first Camino in 2022, I didn't know you needed one to get into a pharmacy and when I went in without one they all...

    CA_Pilgrim reacted to Ana Guanabaa's post in the thread Credentials in Porto with Like Like.
    Hi Onur I got the credencial on a Sunday at the catedral in Porto. I don't remember exactly what time I arrived, somewhere around mid-afternoon, and it was quick and easy, just a desk to the right of the entrance that had them. Have a wonderful...

    CA_Pilgrim reacted to JDecay's post in the thread Santiago to Porto - by bus or train? with Like Like.
    I have used the bus to Porto 3 times (2017, 2018, 2018). Fast efficient and numerous services. The alternative then was a train to Vigo and having to overnight there before daily train service to Porto. Another option might be train to Tui, walk...

    I'm not sure of the name of the plan that the VERIZON representative told me about, but she was clear that you could use the phone in all of the countries it covered for calling and data. She explained that it was popular for military personnel...

    I checked a shipping tube with my poles and other sharp objects in it and carried on my pack. The shipping tube came through just fine. If it had been lost it would be no big deal.

    I had a similar issue with SIM cards on my 2022 Camino. I wanted a Spanish (not French) phone number, so I waited to get one from the Vodaphone store in Pamplona. I was going to go with Orange, but they were out of the SIM card I wanted., so I...

    @CA_Pilgrim that’s some spectacular acreage. The Mission Trail is on my list.

    I've stayed at numerous hotels, pensions, and private albergues while hiking the CF in 2022. They all accepted my luggage. If you are worried, check with the transport company you plan to use. My experience is that they are usually quite...

    I've hike roughly the first 350 miles of the California Mission Trail. So far I've been to 9 of the 21 missions from Mission San Diego to Mission La Purisima. This is the second time I've done the mission hike. I completed the entire 800+ mile...

    Per prior comments, if you have sharp objects (e.g., poles, Swiss Army Knife, etc.) you need to check your bags. I've carried backpacks up to 24 L onto planes with no problems but my Camino pack is 38L and I doubt will qualify. My solution on my...
