    Money Transfer

    Another option (I see your in Arkansas), if your currently stateside and not in a huge hurry to receive them is to find someone (American) who is currently on the Camino and ask if they will pick them up for you when they get to SdC when they pick up their own certificates. You could send them...

    April 1st starting in SJPdP - How many people?

    Flying out of IAD as well (we must have come across the same sale lol) and starting on 1st 👍🏻 (weather permitting) Im thankful for everyone easing my fears of starting that early. See you on the trail, if not before then (IAD/SJP) 😂

    April 1st starting in SJPdP - How many people?

    Thanks! Hadnt even looked to see when Easter was, was just looking at end of March airline tickets and then 2nd guessing if April 1 was gonna be too sparse of other pilgrims to be starting. Thats good to know, and makes sense being so close to Easter that many other people will be heading out...

    April 1st starting in SJPdP - How many people?

    Due to coming across some cheap airfare in March, I was thinking of walking the Camino starting in SJPdP on April 1. (My first camino in 2018 was late April) But curious how many people (approximately) head out of SJPdP on the actual 1st day of April. I know this varies year to year but can...

    Where do you carry your valuables?

    Hi Damien - Just curious, like you I use ApplePay for everything at home. My question is - Is ApplePay, or digital payments in general, widely available along the Camino (Spain)?

    Packable Fleece

    Hi Heda, I’ve had no problems with the Ghost Lite in hard rains along the AT. But for comparison the AT is very well covered (national forest) except above tree line on ridges where I’ve encountered some pretty nasty storms and it held up great and kept me and my down puffy dry maybe 2 hours...

    Packable Fleece

    I backpack/section hike a lot in the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains so already have a lot of packable (stuffs into own pocket) type clothing. Im going in April as well and taking my Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer. It’s a 800 down filled puffy jacket that packs (stuffs) into one of the...

    Medical Coverage on the Frances

    I understand a discharged Vet with VA papers maybe not being let on base since its an active base and not a VA Hospital, but if I have a valid active military ID - would they still deny my passage onto the base? I was told I would be ok with my ID.

    Medical Coverage on the Frances

    I also have TriCare and it is worldwide coverage. However, to me its more of a hassle to try and explain it and billing along the Camino as well as flashing my card around unnecessarily. If I need to see a Dr while along the camino for something I will probably pay out of pocket and then keep...

    Class of 2018

    Hi Ana, I live in the US and would suggest you check out an REI while your here, and they have locations on east and west coast, but not so much in the middle of the country. Their a HUGE backpacking/hiking/camping outfitter where most people who do long distance hikes 2,000 miles and above...

    Class of 2018

    Hi Everyone! My daughter and I are planning our 1st mother/daughter trip to do our 1st Camino (Frances) in April 2018. We are both full of many emotions as we lock in our flights (anxiety, excitement, fear, etc). Like others have said here before me, Ive been following your forums and doing a...
