    What is Love...

    So, I downloaded a translation app, and while still at home in NOLa (only 26 days before flight) I decide to help out at a local post office as the employee is trying to get info from a Spanish speaker. I break out my translator, speak in to it 'What is your address' and the loud and proud...

    How Many People Walked The Camino Without Any Training ?

    Kanga, because of my early start date (apr 1st) and not being sure to get a place in Orrison, I am going Valcarlos to Roncesvales. Do you believe that may be good slow training route for an old broad? I meant to train, but my 240 hr a month job stopped that plan !! But today is my last day on...

    Which part/s would you skip if you only had 26 days and would walk the average amt per day

    Thank you so much. I feel terrible even asking that. I am starting in SJPP, but getting the Compostela is very important to me, as is my original goal, but, as the date approaches for this chubby old broad, I guess I am getting" cold feet" no pun intended !!! I will march on from SJPP and do...

    Health insurance

    I bought Travelers Ins. for 140$ from AAA, and there are a number of companies on other threads. What is free in life? I feel better safe than sorry. Even if you got free medical treatment (which I doubt, but others may know better than me) if you had to leave the country to go back home, that...

    going the Valcarlos route Apr 1st

    well, Pilgrims, I have decided I have to commit to the Valcarlos route. Though I am going to flow once I get my flow going, I can't find out about Orrison until Apr. 1st, as per their email.

    Reserving beds for the first few nights

    Oh NO, I will not be ignoring you, I have gleaned a great deal of useful info from your posts. I have already recovered from the idea of following Brierley to the letter, Mainly cuz I don't see me making it to his goal stops, and I will enjoy the space if I am left behind by the throngs in a...
