    First Camino Panic attack

    I absolutely love how you described it as jousting at the windmills in the mind. What a beautiful and eloquent way to describe the element of worrying. This is what I am hoping to accomplish on my camino. To simply go and be, instead of jousting with my mind. A sense of peace is all I pray for.

    Is it necessary to get a VISA to travel to Spain from Canada?

    My uncle is telling me today that I need to apply for a VISa to travel in Spain for the 2 months I will be gone. Can anyone verify if this is correct information? I haven't come accross anything telling me that I need to get a VISA. Any information is helpful. Thank you. Antonio.

    Is a lock necessary?

    Would you say that it is necessary to bring a combination lock in order to lock stuff up in lockers? Is it a wotrthless item to bring? Not sure if there are lockers at the albergues or if there are enough albergues with lockers to warrant bringing a lock. Any feedback on this? Thanks.

    Sites not to miss on the Camino Frances

    Margaret! Thank you for letting me know about this wonderful book. I spent yesterday evening at the library looking through this book. There was simply too much information to take in so I tried to focus on the tidbits that I found most interesting. I feel I will have a greater understanding of...

    “All” Albergues on the Camino Frances in one pdf

    Thanks Journeycakes! I am doing an online course at the same time as my Camino so I have to make sure to find decent Wifi along my trek. If the Albergues isn't good enough I can go to the bars. LOL Didn't think of that. Than you so much.

    “All” Albergues on the Camino Frances in one pdf

    From what I have read on this forum, every albergue has wifi access. But this doesnt seem to be reflected in this pdf. When we see an albergue that has internet access on this pdf does this imply having only physical computers to use? Are we to assume that every albergue has free wifi we can use...

    Not that I'm concerned but how many got bit by BED BUGS on the Camino

    And how long does it take to dry then? I am planning on getting the Permithrin in Saint Jean or Orisson as I cannot find it anywhere in Toronto. So I will be spraying my gear once I am there.
