    Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

    I took my crocs and never regretted the decision. They are light and I attached them to the outside of my pack with a carabiner. They were accessible when I finished walking for the day, so I could change my shoes while waiting in queue to get into an albergue. If it rained, no problem; my pack...

    I'm Off

    Wow you have done well with your backpack weight. Travel safely and since we start the same day from SJPP, we will probably meet somewhere along the way. moraneigel

    ONE thing I wish I had taken, ONE thing I wish I had NOT...

    If it will make your way more comfortable, you want to carry it and it is not something you are attached to in case you decide to reduce the weight you are carrying. I think/feel and have learned from the forums, other than the essentials, what one carries is a personal preference. moraneigel

    Travel Arrangements - can't get there from here

    Thank you for your wisdom and I have decided to go back to my original plan of starting at SJPP Once I figured the additional distance, it would interfer with arrangements and commitments I have at home. I am not one to get flustered if I miss the markers and have to go back, that can happen...

    Introduction: moraneigel

    Wanted to let you know I got it worked out - I am flying into Toulouse; train to SJPdP then on with the shoe leather. Arrangements going back home: I will fly from Santiago to Toulouse, with stop in Madrid. My ticket from Toulouse has a lay-over in Madrid, so if it takes me a little more time...

    Will my poor old legs make it?

    Scruffy and Sillydoll, you are both precious. I just decided to change my camino start from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Toulouse - hey, I am flying into Toulouse so why not start there and save the hassle of a train in the beginning. Your explanations have fortified my decision to start at...

    Travel Arrangements - can't get there from here

    I have worked on my travel route and after feeling "can't get there from here" while working on transportation from Paris, Madrid, Pamplona, I found flying in to Toulouse seems to be the easiest. I will take a train to Saint Jean Pied de Port and will be on my way. I have also heard that...
