    Dealing with a broken ankle

    Thank you to everyone who has responded. I appreciate everything you have mentioned. @sugargypsy, I will definitely review my insurance, as that was something that hadn't entered my mind for it being considered a "pre-existing" condition. Actually my body has made the decision for me! At...

    Dealing with a broken ankle

    Hi C Clearly, sorry for not being clear. I was planning on leaving the 1st of September 2018 starting in SJPD to Santiago. However, the physician has said I won't be out of the boot until the middle of June 2018 and not to plan on walking this year 2018. As I said, his recommendation is to...

    When to buy Travel Insurance

    Hi! I'm planning on a Camino next year. I have never traveled overseas. So in my planning do I need to get travel insurance before I have dates and airlines nailed down or do I get the insurance and then figure out the dates. Any suggestions?

    The best map for Camino Frances.

    Thank you for resurrecting this thread. I, for one, would just like a map to alleviate a little fear since I will be traveling alone and having paper is comforting. Who knows why I feel that way and why an app on my phone doesn't give me, I would feel more secure with a map.

    Insulin refilled

    I would guess it would depend on how much insulin she needs and if her needs change based on the physicality of the trip. My daughter-in-law is a Type 1 and she has different insulin needs based on how "in control" of her blood sugars is she is and what she is doing. Additionally, her insulin...

    Insulin refilled

    Have you tried contacting the company here associated in making/combining her type of insulin? I would think they would be able to tell her if and where she might find the type she needs. And they should speak english
