    Don't want to be so schedule confined but...

    Starting Sunday and it would appear we're a bit too laid back. HA! Still deciding on starting point Pamplona or Burgos. Thinking Burgos b/c it's faster to reach from Madrid. With less than a week, which would you recommend for good villages since we won't get far - the first part of after...

    Post-Camino shoe observations

    Let's see a picture. I'm starting this Sunday. I, too, bought trainers instead of boots. I know you're not speaking of trainers per say but once I decided on trainers over boots, I did some research for "long walks" not hikes, and settled on the Asics, Gel Kayano 24 with pronation. SOooo comfy...

    WiFi or data

    So yes, because my husband and children are going to other countries, and we’re meeting later, I’d like to have a way to be reached. But otherwise, I hear ya, UNPLUG!

    WiFi or data

    I’m coming from Jordan! I live in Jordan with an unlocked iPhone. I think I still have a SIM from Spain last year. I do recall getting ripped off in the airport once. I like this Vodafone idea. Where are the stores? In the airport? I use my phone, right? You’re not getting a different phone, are...

    WiFi or data

    Is everyone getting SIM cards and data for the walk? If so, where? I’ve paid far too much in the past in MAD airport. Flying into MAD, buding to Pamplona or Burgos to start. I thought to use my phone to book each nights’ accommodation the night before.

    Following up - what’s the weather like in these parts now? And we have to get the passport at one of these starting places, right?

    Love it! All of it! Thank you, all of you. I want to just keep talking about it and dreaming. I love this part almost as much as the journey. Last questions will be --- thinking of just really nice running shoes/sneakers, no hiking shoes. I also want to get this bag: TETON Sports Oasis 1200...

    And it is our preference to do it this way. Goes without asking them. Just making sure IT IS possible.

    Love it! Thanks so much! I'm on it.

    Thanks so much, John. I seem to be doing all the planning, which is fine. My sister and her daughter will go along happily with anything. I think we'd like to skip the end party scene. We'd like cute but also meeting a lot of good folks, but also getting good sleep. We also need to consider time...

    Ohhh ok good. And I can get one at only certain starting points? Or I need to get ahead of time?

    Don't want to be so schedule confined but...

    Do I need a Camino passport? And do I need to complete the compostella for any reason?

    Don't want to be so schedule confined but...

    I thought for the first walk, (and perhaps the only for some time), the French way would be the best way. We would like a portion that includes quaint villages. Unfortunately, planning this route with a future one in our thoughts is not possible. Confused about this: "getting to and back from...

    Don't want to be so schedule confined but...

    Both good advice. Things to note: we are all three VERY social. For us it's all about staying culturally enriched through the eyes of others and their stories. Sure we like to see stuff too. It will be about the food and the laughs for us. We range in age 26 to 56 and are all in moderate to...
