    Medication woes

    We ask the pharmacy to print prescription labels which we then put on ziplock bags and dump the pills into the labeled bag. Roll them up like a burrito and secure with a rubber band to save space. My husband also brings little snack bags labeled morning and night and once a week sits down and...

    La Virgen del Camino albergue reopens today

    I think its been open a little while. One of the hospitaleros posted a couple of weeks ago. We also got word in our HosVol bulletin this week that it was added to the list for volunteers. Looks like a good alternative for those wanting to avoid the hustle bustle of Leon. Also two on the Camino...

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. Air travel isn't as fun as it was when I was a kid. Hope you and your bag will make it home together.

    Backpack or just a bag

    Are you staying in albergues or private rooms? In a private room, you will likely have the space for two bags or a backpack and a suitcase. In an albergue you will be dealing with less space. I would not use a suitcase for daily transfer to albergues. They take up more room in already tight...

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    I always encounter at least one epic snorer. Some years several. Sadly many of them have the dangerous kind of snoring with sleep apnea. Last year there was a another lively thread about someone who was very upset about being shaken awake in the night by a fellow pilgrim (no-doubt sleep...

    Airport buses - changes to services

    The "old" bus station was not located with the train and is no longer in use. The new bus station is co-located with the train.
