    Do you happen to know what the price of shipping a small package is in Spain? I know Ivar's storing prices, I'm just having toruble finding shipping rates for Spain. Thanks either way! :)

    I figured! If I feel that I need a good hot bath and rest day, I'll go ahead and take it.

    Thank you for your words of confidence. I'm hoping two Tylenol PM will have me sleeping nearly the whole way and also lessen the jet lag. I'm a little concerned about the trek to Roncesvalles. I know there are other places nearly or as steep but I'll be conditioned by then. Oh well! I'll get an...

    Best to both you and your husband! May you guys travel safely and may your trip be filled with wonderful experiences. Safe, enjoyable flights to you guys! Perhaps we will meet! I'll be starting two days behind you but maybe I'll catch up! I'm not a fast hiker/walker but I'm like the proverbial...

    So here I am in the final stretch of waiting to take off and begin this incredible journey! I didn't train nearly enough.... In fact, I barely trained at all. Although, the training I did do, I did in the mountains. The San Gabriels in SoCal. I'm hoping that it'll be enough and that listening to...

    Getting from Biarritz to St Jean at night

    Brenda, So taxis are readily and easily available straight from the airport? If I can find pilgrims to share the cost with I think this is what I'll do. Also, do I really need to look everything up right now if I do decide to take the bus/taxi to Bayonne and then a train on to SJPP? My head...

    El Camino Real de California: A Hiker's Guide to the California Mission Trail [Paid]

    HI! I'm about to embark on my first Camino de Santiago next Saturday and I am already thinking that I might NEED to do this Camino next Summer haha. I went to UCSB and would love to hike the 267 miles from SD to SB and spend some time in my beloved Santa Barbara before maybe continuing North a...

    ANOTHER Pack List. Sorry and Thanks.

    SYates, I know you're one of the veterans here... how are the prices for things such as soap, sunblock, lotions? As long as it's not ridiculously overpriced, I'm thinking my best bet is to not check a bag and just buy the majority of my liquids in SJPP when I get there. Thank you.

    ANOTHER Pack List. Sorry and Thanks.

    When you fly do you a check a bag withI ur liquids then? I had wanted to buy sunblock, bug spray, etc. but didn't want to have to check a bag (or box). I will if I need to! I'm not to familiar with walking with poles. I have some but I rarely use them! Are they really that necessary on the...

    ANOTHER Pack List. Sorry and Thanks.

    Well I already ditched the legging pants (they were activewear leggings) but that means that I only have hiking shorts and joggers as bottoms. I have a light weight, longer, long sleeve dress. I'll throw that in so that I have something to wear to mass or around town. Thanks for the heads up, I...

    From California to Camino! Starting June 1st, 2015 :)

    Hahaha I sure hope I adjust by then! I hike slow so I will probably be the last hiker into Roncesvalles! Haha Good luck and Buen Camino to you too!

    ANOTHER Pack List. Sorry and Thanks.

    I completely forgot about those! Thanks! I'll be sure to throw some into my bag!

    From California to Camino! Starting June 1st, 2015 :)

    You know, I'm thinking I'll actually start the 2nd. I'm gonna spend the night in Paris and rest up BC I know I'll probably be jet lagged too. How long did it take you to adjust last summer? With that being said, I'm also not planning on stopping in Orrison. My plan is to walk on through to...

    ANOTHER Pack List. Sorry and Thanks.

    I planned on buying sunscreen in France since I can only fly with products less than 3oz. I'm assuming it's sold anywhere right? I don't really blister and my shoes are very broken in (I try to do around a 15 mile hike every weekend). Granted, I don't walk consecutively. I was planning on...
