Wow, it's been a while since the last time I posted.
The trip was fantastic and tons of fun. We'll never forget the people we met on the way. We walked from Roncesvalles to Santiago and then to Finisterre in about 40 days. I would recommend the trip to anyone.
Thanks to everyone who...
Thanks for all the advice once again! We're heading to the airport in just a few hours. After taking a number of trains, we'll start the Camino on May, 29.
Most definitely! I'm only planning on bringing dandruff shampoo, and a block of soap. Most of the Eckerd's stuff will just be first aid that will be split between the two of us.
We'll stop by the refugio in Rabanal for sure. Which one is it exactly though? My guidebook has four listed, El...
All this advice has been so helpful!
Everything is on schedule. My friend and I leave from Atlanta on May 25, and we'll start the Camino on either the 26 or 27 from St. Jean. Almost all the major stuff has been bought. Now I just need to go to Eckerds and buy a bunch of small things.

My planning is slowly coming along. Everyone's packing lists have been very helpful. I still have many small things to buy, but all the expensive stuff has been paid for. Right now our group of three is planning on leaving very late May and flying into Paris. We'll spend maybe three days...
Thanks for the advice! It sounds to me like I'll probably be somewhere in the middle between the normal pilgrim and the various other young people mentioned. It's very encouraging though to know that it can be done that cheaply.
I investigated both the sleeping bags mentioned and the REI...
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I've been wondering a couple things recently.
1. Roncesvalles or St-Jean-Pied-du-Port? I've seen conflicting opinions on which is the best place to start the Camino from and I was wondering what your opinions were.
2. What is the most economic way of...
Real brief introduction...
I'm 17 from Athens, Georgia in the US and plan to start the Camino in late May 2008 from Roncesvalles. I'm taking AP Spanish and my teacher sparked my interest in the Camino. Right now I'm going with a friend, but I would not be surprised to end up walking alone...
