    Hello, Ivar. Fiance and I have come upon a bit of a dilemma and were hoping you could offer some advice. We are planning to walk the Camino starting on August 21st and will arrive at SDC on September 17th. Plan was to get married in Santiago after finishing but have found out Corticela will be closed when we arrive. Would you happen to have info on where we could possibly get married in Santiago/Finisterre? Thank you

    Hello Ivar, just checking in. I noticed my designation of donating member has disappeared. I wonder why, since I send a donation when I ordered the patch and the credential. Maybe just an oversight, you are very busy. Leaving July 1 back to the Camino. See you in Santiago at some point!

    Hello Ivar

    I absolutely love the forum. I am very excited, looking forward to my Camino and express this within the forum. Are you going to add more smiley face icons. I would love to see a laughing face up there somewhere. Also i wouldn't have to use LOL (i hate that) to express that im laughing as opposed to agreeing with a comment.

    Hello there Ivar. I was trying to ask a question on the "Frequently asked questions" section and it says that i have insufficient privileges. What do i do to get the privileges needed to solve this? Thank you.

    Can I promote my Camino tale on the 'Camino Resources' section?

    The Lady, the Cat and the Wolf Boy
    The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela wasn't supposed to be like this.
    The boy came trying not to give a crap about anything anymore, and the girl came determined not to take any crap from anybody anymore.
    Wolf boy came to meet his maker.
    The cat and the Lady came to make a mess.

    Hi Ivar. I posted a box from St Jean to you today. I am Syl's Amawalkers partner am leading an Amawalkers group. I will get to Santiago on 4 oct. Can you look out for it please.

    I am amazed at hos many pilgrims are in ST Jean so late in sept. The place is bursting at the seams. And the majority of the seem to be over 60. It would seem more and more elderly people are doing The Way.

    Regards Jenny

    Ivar,
    A suggestion re: packing lists and equipment recommendations.
    It would be incredibly helpful and useful if you could ask all contributors to preface (i.e. in the first line) their recommendations/experiences with the time of year of their camino and which camino they used the clothes/equipment on.
    Thank you,
    bystander

    I am looking at taking the bus from Madrid to Vilalbo to start my camino. Does anyone have any advice on what bus service(s) I need to take?

    Hi Ivar: This is my first time back to the forum in many months. I am planning a return to Spain next year and posted a thread on the Camino del Norte. Next to the thread, it states "watched." What does that mean? It appears this site has more functionality now than when I was on it two years ago Thanks.

    Hi Ivar, I have joined recently and I am really enjoying the forum. One question...is it possible for me to change my name over my avatar? nobody seems to use their full name and I'm not sure how I ended up using mine? any help would be much appreciated, thanks
    Paschulke
    Hola Ivar, thanks for sending me the forum badge.

    I've got another question, I will arrive in Santiago by bicycle but haven't found a way to get it back home yet. In case I cannot make an agreement in time before my departure, is it possible for me to store my bike at your place and have a freight company pick it up later? Thanks in advance!

    Hello again, Ivar. I just explored the forum long enough to answer my previous question re six months. Thanks, RS
    rickster
    Hello Ivar, I made a donation to the forum last September and for a while, I noticed "donating member" below my name. Is there a six month expiration on this? No problem if there is; proud to support.

    Hi Ivar, I'm getting the hang of the forum but I can't figure out how to add my start date to the calendar. I'm leaving Aug 24 from either Roncesvalles or SJPdP. Could you help me?

    Hi Ivar
    I will leave Sydney in a few days to walk Camino Le Puy followed, hopefully, by Camino Primitivo. I will write a blog as I have done on my two previous Caminos and would be happy to add a link to the forum for this one, and my two previous blogs from Camino France in 2011 and Camino Frances in 2013.
    Can you point me in the right direction for adding links to the blogs. Many thanks

    Hello Ivar , I have been trying to add my name to the calender, I click in the date that I am starting the camino , april 23,2014 at around 8-9am, and nothing happens. How do you add your name?

    thanks for the help
    Al the optimist
    Any chance of adding a "tongue in cheek" emotion to the list we can select from Ivar? Maybe then such posts would be instantly recognised as such and it might help avoid some misunderstandings (I just saw a conversation where someone's stab at humour was misunderstood by a Newbie).
    Jabaldo
    Ivar, thank you for this forum. I am a new donating member and to date have found your forum very helpful. When my wife and I are done walking the Camino, we start in SJPP in Sept, I want to help out. We will talk later.

    Hi Ivar, I bought the tourist book on Camino de Santiago in 2010 in Barcelona and now interested in walking the entire camino in 2016. My friend birthday 50th in January 2016. We want to walk together. How do we get the proper documents for the walk. Will start in St Jean Pied de Port and want to go right to the end. Please help with direction.

    This site is too difficult for people who don't understand computers. How can you ask a question, then be asked to suggest responses?

    Dear Ivar - My apologies for putting this here (I cannot see any other way of contacting you?) You have removed my post but you have not also removed the email which gave rise to my comment - which was a direct provocation - please can you explain this?
    Many Thanks Rob

    IVar: The new Camino Buffs "Buy now for Euro 17.28" button works great, but does not allow for editing the number desired. It defaults to one and I cannot see how to change it. Is this something you can fix? Thanks Tom

    Hi Ivar its Hugh McMullan I was wondering what you thought of my 2 movies on the Frances and the Via de la Plata. Did you ever get time to watch them??

    Hi Ivar, I have been reliably informed that you can help me with giving my website info to the Camino forum. 6 of us cycled the Camino in 2012 and then my husband Jonathan wrote a book on the adventure, it is something I thought others might enjoy having a look at. Are you able to help with putting the info up? It's www.decaffcamino.com if you can assist I would be very thankful. Best wishes, Joanna

    Ivar, Anne (Annakappa) and I (Fraluchi) want to make a Christmas present to you personally. We distrust PayPal and refuse to sign "agreements" with "systems", knowing that Uncle Sam is watching things which are none of his business. We prefer to make a direct bank transfer to you at hand of your IBAN, BIC and full address. Mail to Fraluchi@yahoo.com and we'll deal with it.

    Hi Ivar - now I have them I would like to gift you two of my t shirts - could you tell me your chest size in cms and an address where I could post them?
    Many thanks

    Ivar, I was just looking at the Camino Books resources page (where I'd posted the publication of "In Movement There Is Peace)
    What does the [paid] at the end of the title mean?
    Thanks
