    my packinglist - any thoughts?

    Hi Hilda, I had used the Osprey Aura 50 which was great! No regrets. The only thing is that while they are adjustable they come in different sizes for your height, length of torso, etc. I had started with one size and had to try on a couple before we got the right fit. Even with the right...

    my packinglist - any thoughts?

    I did the walk this past May/June and it was very wet. One thing I wished over and over that I had brought was a cover for my Pack. A bar owner in Roncesvalles was kind enough to help me with a 10 gallon trash bag that I carried with me for the month but it stretched out and got holes in it...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    Hello there! Well, for fun I thought I would check in on my posts from earlier in the year and see if there was any more action. This particular topic seems to have gotten a lot of buzz or views anyway so I thought I would tell you all what I ended up doing. I decided to bring the Ipod and I...

    Favorite Foods on the Camino Frances

    the best potatoes ever There is a little place in Leon in St. Martins Square on the right side that has the best potatoes I EVER! They have some kind of blue cheese sauce poured all over them. You can order a racione of them or just get the tapas by ordering a beer. No menu del dia here but...

    Is thermolite enough

    I thought with starting end of May and ending in July a Thermolite Reactor silk Liner was going to be plenty. It's thin like a normal silk liner but has some technology that is supposed to heat up more than a normal one. I have no experience in these liners so I don't know what to expect. I...

    may babies unite!

    Thanks for the support and kindness xm. Hey now I'm reading above about Albuerge's being full already? Can you, should I, be booking these in advance? I thought the point was to be taking the day, the time, the path.... as it comes. Or am i reading into the above posts incorrectly???

    may babies unite!

    Leaving May 23rd Feeling mostly good about it because I need a vacation badly and because I'm just ready to get on with it. I find myself freaking out every couple of days over the things I don't have yet, the dogs, and crazily... what to do when I land..... I spin the questions over and over...

    Pamplona overnight

    Thank you and I will definitely look for that restaurant! I appreciate the info. I find myself most nervous about those first couple of days. I have traveled a lot but never alone to a foreign country. I am anxious but know it will be fine once I am there. Do I need reservations for the...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    to answer your question.... If I bring it...which it seems I may be doing at this point.... It is the new 30 gig video IPOD. It can hold up to 7000 songs. I have like 3000 on there now. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I like music. There is plenty of room on there for books and...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    Maybe I'll reconsider Thanks for your input. It all makes sense and the part about having musical memories usually rings true for me. I guess that is why I have been reconsidering. There is always that one moment on a trip when you have the headphones on and you are in your own world...

    daylight....amongst other things.

    Well after getting the idea to do this over 2 years ago, My May 23rd departure date is right around the corner. I find myself starting to obssess over the stupidest things. So thank you all for this forum. It helps to calm me down. One of my latest questions is the number of hours of...

    Pamplona overnight

    I plan to fly into Pamplona from the US at the end of May. I figure I will have jet lag pretty bad so have decided to stay one night in Pamplona before heading to Roncesvalle the next afternoon. Since I will not have my Pilgrims Passport yet, the refugios are not an option from what i...

    To Ipod or not to Ipod

    I am leaving for the Camino at the end of May and had decided no... no IPOD....just check out completely. I am a HUGE music fan and am always listening to something. My friends for the most part think I am insane and will regret this decision. I, on the other hand am concerned that if I bring...
