    Class of 2015

    I walked SJPP to Santiago in 2013. I'll walk the Portuguese coastal route from Matosinhos to Santiago summer 2015, God willing.

    Just a question..:)

    Orrison was only 8.5 km but I met some good folks that night and the beer was cold.

    Who's Walking the Coastal Route in 2015?

    I'm planning to walk from Porto to Santiago de Compostela sometime in 2015, probably September. Walked the Frances route last year. Anyone else making a plan for the coastal route ?

    Starting from Porto (Matosinhos) on the 27th of May, 2014

    This is all helpful. I walked the Frances last fall and will walk Caminho Costal next year. Any maps or guides available?

    Class of 2015

    Dunno, maybe it's my OCD but I'm planning to go back and walk the sections I skipped in Sept-Oct of 2013. Should take about 2 weeks; this time I'll know what I'm doing.

    Crossing the Pyrenees

    I crossed on Sept 18, 2013. Rain, wind, fog, muddy, but very doable.

    Ipad...

    Hi Trekster, I'm taking an iPhone 5 and wondering about getting a Spanish nano SIM. What was your experience with that and where did you get the SIM card? Thanks Jim

    Backpacks and poles = check or carry on?

    I won't be checking my bag and finally decided that I have so much time and effort already invested in this trip that I will buy poles in Europe after I exit the airport security systems. In my case, at Sport 2000 in Lourdes.

    Hi Susan, Similar responsibilities have kept me from the Camino, but I will be in Lourdes on 9/16 and then walking out of St. Jean on 9/18. Best to you and Buen Camino. Jim

    How the Camino to changed you

    I like the metaphor "interior landscape". Although I stopped being overtly Type A a few years ago, I am hoping to further weed my "interior garden" when I Camino in September.

    trekking poles

    I passed thru security at BWI today on business trip and stopped to talk to a TSA Supervisor about carrying my z-poles in carry-on luggage. The only thing he wanted to know was if they had sharp metal tips. I told him they have rubber tips and his answer was "no problem".

    I have the same interest Tomer, iPhone 5, will look for a Spanish carrier prepaid nano sim. Jim
