Looks like I may indeed be travelling Lourdes to SJPP. Any one out there done this? Feels more rewarding to end up at Lourdes, but will be going AGAINST the flow of the few pilgrims. May not be relevant if I wouldn't see any anyway. Any thoughts? Also waymarkers may completely confuse me...
Ingles now becomes plan B. I'm looking into Lourdes to SJPP, as a prequel to Frances last year. Does this route exist with waymarkers & hostels/albergues???
Which of the routes has the best (still challenging, scenic, not too crowded) last 120 - 150K? I did Entire Frances last year, and by far, Sarria to Santiago quite a let-down segment. Only have 8 days this year. Considering Ingles (too short?), Primitive? Final segment of Norte, Portugese or...
my apple charger will accept 220V, but are most of the outlets the two "pins" or the newer ones that will accept pins and also "vertical slotted" plugs like we use here??? (should I bring an adapter?)
thanks, bill
Denis, Exactly when dp you arrive in SJPP? Will you want to leave immediately, or recover a day from Jetlag? Will you go (intend to) all the way to Roncesvalles, or stay in Orison? Maybe better to PM me for this stuff...

I'm anxiously watching comments on this thread every morning from everyone (lately between falcon and biarritzdon). Having never seen any part of the Camino, this is all playing out in my mind until 3 days, when I'm there. There was some mention that the lower (valcarlos) road avoids the mud...
But knowing me like I know me, I'll feel like I'm cheating by starting in Pamplona! Haha, may just be a decision I make when I get off the plane in San Sebastian, unless someone twists my arm before that..
I leave Florida 16 may, but my enthusiasm is starting to wane a bit, since I've been reading about the snow and mud for the first 7-10 days. The romantic notion of 15 miles a day amidst spring wildflowers replaced with slogging 5 miles a day through ankle high mud! We make such important plans...
OK this is my first forum post; I just been a silent stalker until this morning. I also am too tropical to enjoy much of the cold wet stuff; I have had much anticipation of the beautiful Pyranees covered in spring wildflowers in April/May. HaHa, but once again, when we make plans, God shows...
I also will be starting my Camino soon. Will leave SJPP April 17. I live in Melbourne and work in Orlando and would love to visit with anyone here in Florida, regarding training, preparation, gear etc. The time is certainly closing in on me!!!
