I walked for a while with a retired attorney who got no stamps--and had also tossed all diplomas and other certificates on retirement as well.
For me, the "Camino mug" gives me comfort and connection to the experience.
Travel doc friends recommended MedJet Assist—they have seen it in action and were impressed. A neighbor of ours (without extra insurance) paid over $100k to bring ill hubby home. The “repatriation” is the expensive problem.
