    Discouraged in Florida

    I live in Florida as well, and I started the Camino in 2018. I say "started" because I work so can only do it in chunks. I Walked from SJPD to Estella. I get what you're saying that it's hard to prep to the level that you think you'll need in flat Florida. I'm 54, so close to your age. I also...

    Meet Me in the Alps: Tour du Mont Blanc

    I just watched it last night. Thank you for sharing. I'm now crossing this off my bucket list as it looks (at least your version) well beyond my level. But what an amazing adventure!

    Insoles for boots

    so glad you posted this, very timely. i leave for my Camino on April 26 and am in need of some new insoles. my old cheap cushiony insoles are so worn, they're starting to slip out of the back of my shoe occasionally, and I only have a few weeks to test another pair prior to my trip. thanks for...

    We booked our flight!

    My group ended up not being able to secure beds at Orisson. I was strongly advised to walk to Orisson, bus back to SJPdP for the night, then bus back to Orisson to continue. Sounds wonky - but I'm taking the advice. So out of character for me, but I've got my delicate friends to consider :)

    Can't get a response from Refuge Orisson, what to do?

    Hi J. I’m traveling with friends and we’re doing same thing, same timing. Best of luck w/ your reservation.

    to book or not to book...

    thank you for the advice. i know that Orisson is dorm style, but it seemed not an overwhelming step to take to get a taste of a more traditional pilgrim experience.

    to book or not to book...

    Thank you! this certainly puts my mind at ease. Good to have options :)

    to book or not to book...

    that is the question! Hi, everyone! I'm making arrangements for a group of 5 middle- aged women for the first segment: SJPdP to Los Arcos, beginning on April 28. Our more mature bones require more private lodging than a typical albergue would provide - so we're interested in not necessarily...

    We booked our flight!

    We're flying into Biarritz, then taking the train from Bayonne. too early to buy the train tix yet but we'll have them in advance. thanks for the tip.

    We booked our flight!

    I'm traveling with a group, and we're not all coming from the same city - so for peace of mind, we secured flights early. I'm a planner. I always do tons of research and book my trips 6 months out. I'm a control freak. I accept my flaws - but I have been known to plan INCREDIBLE vacations, so my...
