Hey fellow pilgrims, hoping to touch base with some first time solo walkers heading out THIS FRIDAY !!! wow, it has snuck up on me all of a sudden, so excited but my eyes are glazing over !! I am the red head wandering the streets of St Jean on Thursday!! Buen Camino, Shannon AKA Gypsywind
Thank you so much , I appreciate all that information, so much more than I expected I really appreciate it and now I'm really excited to do that yes I will.
Hello all you seasoned European travelers!! I start my Camino from StJPP on April 1st. I am so excited. And also apparently can't make myself leave !! I have added another week to my trip, and want to go to Ireland. Any suggestions on transpo out of Santiago de Compostella to ireland. Then...

Hey there fellow pilgrim. I am starting my first, and solo Camino on April 1st, I too hope to recognize some names out there, will make it feel a little more familiar !!
Buen Camino, Shannon
Thank you so much. I feel terrible even asking that. I am starting in SJPP, but getting the Compostela is very important to me, as is my original goal, but, as the date approaches for this chubby old broad, I guess I am getting" cold feet" no pun intended !!! I will march on from SJPP and do...
I bought Travelers Ins. for 140$ from AAA, and there are a number of companies on other threads. What is free in life? I feel better safe than sorry. Even if you got free medical treatment (which I doubt, but others may know better than me) if you had to leave the country to go back home, that...
