    Family Camino Guidelines

    This is extremely helpful feedback right now, as we're planning our stages based upon guidebooks and the lists of the Albergues. From those, it mostly seems possible on Frances to get to Albergues every 7-10 KM or so (with some exceptions). Has the pandemic changed that? Maybe there is an...

    This is very helpful advice, thank you. We'll discuss the injury situation. If I were injured, I'd just limp to a bus and meet hubby and daughter at that evening's albergue, a cafe, etc. (I would weep quietly to myself on the bus about lost miles)

    This is especially helpful as you clearly understand the family dynamics of wanting to stay together at the end of each day, and understanding preferences and physical stuff may/will come up where compassion and flexibility are needed.

    Thanks, and I appreciate your concern. I probably should have said much earlier that these guidelines were cooperatively invented by our family, the peregrinos who propose to use them, during some long training walks. We'd all read posts about challenges faced by others, and wanted to think...

    This is helpful to consider - we have AT&T, and I haven't tried using it in Europe. I was going to use WhatsApp. That would work with wifi. Hmmm....
