    Vancouver Rose reacted to TravellingMan22's post in the thread The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino with Like Like.
    Maybe not quite what you an after but review your travel insurance policy, especially if it’s a multi trip policy bought a while back! Makes sure it is still valid!

    Vancouver Rose replied to the thread Stamping process.
    I kept these two together as well. Then you aren’t searching your pack at check-in. AND I frequently got stamps on the inside of my hat. I’d usually ask if I could do it myself because I was trying to get a lot of ink transfer and get the...

    Vancouver Rose reacted to trecile's post in the thread Stamping process with Like Like.
    When I check on to my accommodation, whether it's an albergue or a hotel I ask for a stamp. I keep my national passport and my credential together because you always have to show your passport when you check in, so it's easy when they are both...

    Vancouver Rose reacted to Marjus's post in the thread Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues? with Like Like.
    There are no naive questions . No worries, take it easy. Usually, showers are separated by a door or curtain. In some hostels, there are separate showers and toilets for women and men, but not in all. Bring a large lightweight scarf; you can use...

    Vancouver Rose reacted to Perambulating Griffin's post in the thread Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it? with Like Like.
    FWIW... I have an ultralight pack and I don't think the brand is important (though it's a "leader" in the field). All the ultra-lights rely on the same design: absence of frame or much structure. In essence it's 4 sections of parachute material...

    Vancouver Rose reacted to J.Patrick's post in the thread The Idea of Camino with Like Like.
    We can learn about ourselves in adversity, our limits, our strengths, our own generosity and the great goodness of others when they see our distress. It's an invaluable lesson. Some things that, at first, appear to be defeats, can lead to deeper...

    Vancouver Rose reacted to Sirage's post in the thread The Idea of Camino with Like Like.
    The potency is slow acting and increases after you finish and get home. So the thought of giving up during the journey, for that reason, is likely to be a premature act.
