    Serious Doubts 3 Weeks Before Camino

    We are planning to leave SJPP on June 18 and take 2 days over the Pyrenees. There will be 10 of us because one in our group will be in a 'trekking chair' due to cerebral palsy. The rest of us (several 25-30 year olds) will be rotating pushing/pulling this chair. We are all in decent shape...

    permethrin sprayed fitted sheet

    We bought permethrin treated sheets for our 2013 Camino. No bedbug bites, but our friends without sheets didn't get bites either, so who knows. I'm just wondering if those same sheets will still be "effective" for our 2015 Camino. They have probably been washed less than 6 times as we...

    Condom security

    Ha! I read the title and thought that maybe someone was issuing a warning about "faulty condoms"...well, you never know. That could be bad, too! :)

    RENFE Schedule Not Posted for June 15th

    Thanks Jan_D for checking. We are really hoping to get some of the discounted seats on the RENFE site...more like 50Euros (or, even less). I guess I will just keep checking their site everyday. Now, it has become part of my daily 'to-do' list. :)

    RENFE Schedule Not Posted for June 15th

    I was under the impression that the RENFE train schedules are posted 62 days in advance. We are trying to make train reservations from Madrid to Barcelona for June 15th (52 days away) and the train schedules are not out yet. Does anyone have an intel on this? Thanks!!! Susan

    Camino + Tattooing

    My guess is that it isn't your 'personal preferences' that are insulting. It's the way you said it that was insulting (I also found it insulting as an objective 3rd party to this conversation). Whether I want a tattoo like this or not, I do see incredible similarities in Jes's method and in...

    LIVE from the Camino Update 6 April 2015

    Sounds awesome! I would be interested to know the name of the donativo place you stayed in Santa Domingo.

    Chairs and Bunks

    We walked the Camino in Summer of 2013 and never really encountered rudeness; actually, quite the contrary. We saw many acts of generosity, thoughtfulness, and consideration of others. I hope our experience was the 'norm', not the exception. Though I do believe, and I'm trying to learn, that...

    Sisters Starting "The Way" in June 2015.

    Hola Ladywalker - We are arriving in Madrid on the 16th and then spending a couple of days in Barcelona before heading to SJPP. We may end up being a day or two behind you, but who knows, maybe paths will cross. Can't wait til June. Buen Camino!

    Things I wish I'd known before my first Camino...

    My list is similar to yours, but I would add: - Take more moleskin. Moleskin worked best for me in helping to PREVENT blisters and I didn't see anything like it in Spain. I didn't like compeed because it got messy and stuck to my socks and was almost impossible to get out of my socks...

    Baptized on the Camino

    Rebekah - I've seen some of your posts and some posts about you that give me a glimpse of who you are. Wow! I want to meet you. We are starting our 2nd Camino in mid to late June 2015. I hope it works out for us to meet you as we come thru Moratinos!

    Best time to buy plane tix?

    Not to confuse you any further, but I thought Tuesday's were the cheapest day to buy also. But, two Friday's ago, the prices plunged. Unfortunately, we didn't have our act together with exact dates (our son is starting with us but leaving us in Leon and we hadn't figured out dates) so we...

    Best time to buy plane tix?

    We are traveling to Madrid during the same timeframe and last week we got tickets for $1190 RT (NC to Miami to Madrid on American Airlines). We checked Kayak and Priceline every day. The prices seemed to fluctuate all over the board, but some days the price drops substantially so I would just...
