I’m a huge animal advocate and I threw away my Votaren cream after reading the medical report! Couldn’t risk it!- Lynn C O'Hara

Over the counter pain killer UK warning for Spain
While medication warnings are being shared, Tylenol (acetaminophen) toxicity levels have recently been lowered in the US from 4,000 mg/day to 3,000. In June of last year I had emergency surgery and was given 4,000mg/day, and after a few days the phlebotomist came in to tell me my bloodwork had...- Lynn C O'Hara

HOKA warning
I have been a Hoka fan since 2016–used the Challengers on all four Caminos, but each year I noticed quality had diminished. The soles help up but the tops were always ripping. I have been using my latest Hokas ( also Challengers that I purchased last year for this year’s camino that didn’t...- Lynn C O'Hara

no toilet paper in washroom
I don’t wish to have to get up before I’m finished!! I consider that time absolutely required! I’ve been stuck when the lights went out and could not get them to turn back on. That could be problematic!🤣- Lynn C O'Hara

Just wondering, did anyone ever walk for a deceased pet/animal?
I’m so sorry for your loss! I’ve walked a few Caminos in honor of my beloved pets and I even walked the Portuguese in order to go to Fatima for holy water in hopes it would ease the suffering of one of my fur babies. If you put the flames from all the candles I’ve lit for mine, it would be seen...- Lynn C O'Hara

no toilet paper in washroom
In Maine (USA) one of the two electric companies is owned by a Spanish company. I feel Spain’s high electricity charge pain even when I’m not on a camino! And if they ever try to convince us to put in bathroom timers—they’ll get voted out!! It’ll be a cold day in hell!!😜🤣- Lynn C O'Hara

Getting from USA to start Camino del Norte
Cindy, When I did Camino del Norte, I took a flight from Madrid to San Sebastián and a taxi to Irun. Very easy. Not expensive and very timely. Lynn- Lynn C O'Hara

Alternative to Allianz travel insurance
I did use Seven Corners (the insuring company I used through them was John Hancock) a couple of years ago. When Covid restrictions caused me to cancel my trip, I was able to get refunds from the airline on my own, so I asked John Hancock if they would allow me to instead use my policy the...- Lynn C O'Hara

Needing a livestock refresher course
I came across a young bull moose on Mt Katahdin at the end of the Appalachian Trail. Nature was calling and, as I was about to meander behind a boulder, out of the woods came this hot to trot bull—did I mention it was rutting season?? He stood ten feet in front of me on the path and toyed with...- Lynn C O'Hara

One of many holy pilgrimage locations, in Ireland
Kirkie, I sent you a pm for the article. Back in 1999, I was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, a motor neuron disease. I was given six months to live. It was terrifying, but my stubborn personality made me fight to prove the doctors wrong, and three months into it, I succeeded. It’s a...- Lynn C O'Hara

Primitivo vs 2nd half of Norte
When I was walking del Norte some years back, my plan was to break off and do the Primitivo, but I was delayed helping another pilgrim and was afraid I wouldn’t have enough time to enjoy it. So, I stayed on del Norte. No regrets! It seemed it was mostly Spaniards on it, and they all commented...- Lynn C O'Hara

Happy to give insight into something I do know about and that isn’t ever explained well to the public. There are good reasons for most things and, like most people, I want to know why!- Lynn C O'Hara

Do and Don'ts on the Airplane
There is a reason airports keep you guessing—those that aim to do harm actually do reconnaissance to find patterns. The hijackers on 9/11 flew on our flights for a year to see what the passenger loads were to determine how much fuel we’d be carrying, how many crew members would be working the...- Lynn C O'Hara

Do and Don'ts on the Airplane
As a retired international flight attendant of 31 years—thank you for saying what we tried to accomplish on every flight—decency, cooperation, courtesy! Yes, chocolates were ALWAYS appreciated, but just a thank you was more than we often received. People always thanked the pilots, but remember...- Lynn C O'Hara

People walking 35 - 40 KM per day
I am a fast walker and have no problem doing 30k-35k a day. On the Francés years ago, I became “known” as Godzilla ( ( a movie creature) after a bicyclist nicknamed me after I made it up a hill before him. For days, I was approached by a school group, a priest, other pilgrims who heard I was...- Lynn C O'Hara

Pilgrim in a little trouble looking for help
I remember reading your post recently where you were nervous. We all get some anxiety no matter how many times we walk the camino. You’re a long way from home, but you’ll find your peace. As an old American television “friend” once said: “look for the helpers.” There are people out there who...- Lynn C O'Hara
