    What one guilty luxury item have you brought on the Camino?

    I love peanut butter, too, Jodean! I even found a light weight powdered product called PB2 that I'll be bringing. I'm vegan so it'll not only be comforting, but also potentially lifesaving during those stretches of the Camino where I'm having trouble finding non-animal product protein.

    Trains, Planes, Buses and Taxi Sharing and getting to your start point

    I just checked the Alsa website and it doesn't look like they offer bus service from Pamplona to Roncesvalles, only to SJPdP. Word to the wise: if you are using the Alsa website to book bus tickets and using a non-Spain or EU-issued credit card you may have difficulty. I ended up using my...

    Knee woes

    Is this the product you're using, movinmaggie: ? Looks really useful, actually. I have another appointment with my PT next week and I'll ask her about it. I'm not experiencing any knee pain now, but I do feel some stiffness and I've had knee trouble in the past. Thanks for sharing this info!

    First Camino, starting in SJPdP Sept. 12

    Thanks for your words of encouragement! Being vegan will definitely make the pilgrimage more of a challenge. Posts on this forum re: veg-friendly albergues, restaurants and shops have definitely helped. There are also some listings at HappyCow.net. But, there's no getting around having to buy...

    Knee woes

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience, WldWil. It's very helpful to know that others are also plagued with pre-Camino injuries. I'm also in training for my September 2015 pilgrimage and started experiencing pain in my right shin. Panicked that it was shin splints, I went to a great physical...
