    Question: Orisson Reservation & Inclement Weather

    Were you able to make a reservation at L’Esprit du Chemin Hostel? I looked at their website and it indicated they were not open until April. Have you spoke or communicated with them as my e-mail has gone unanswered about whether they would be open or not at this time. This hostel is also my 1st...

    Question: Orisson Reservation & Inclement Weather

    If the weather is not great, I am considering taking the Valcarlos route and staying at the new(er) muni hostel, Luzaideko Aterpea Albergue in Valcarlos. The next day the distance to Roncesvalles is only ~14-15 km. I prefer the Napoleon route and staying at the Orisson, but I think I just found...

    Question: Orisson Reservation & Inclement Weather

    I am also leaving SJPDP on 3/30. I attempted to make a reservation at the Orisson last week; however I recieved a reply back from them indicating they were not sure they were going to be open at all in March and to call the day prior to inquire whether I can be accomodated. I am also not sure...

    Late March 2012 Departure from US???

    Thanks for the support and advice. I am trying not to get too wrapped up in the details of my planning and "trying" to keep it simple, but the more I read on the forum the more anxiety I have begun to feel. Almost like paralysis by analysis. :D For me, I think I almost have too much information...

    Is it crazy to bring a "nook"?

    Update: My nook is going with me sans the leather cover (saving me almost 6 oz). Many thanks for all the advice and tips. This will be my 1st camino (starting end of March) and I am trying to heed many veterans advice to pack light but I will make my nook the one non-essential exception. Thanks...

    Is it crazy to bring a "nook"?

    Thanks for the advice....my nook is going in my backpack. I did also purchase a small waterproof sleeve for it, just in case of inclement weather. I will consider this my 1 luxury item. :)

    Used www.airbnb.com to book a bedroom in private home?

    Has anyone ever used airbnb.com to book a spare/extra bedroom in somebody's house? I just booked a room for a few days in Santiago de Compostela to rest after my camino. Anybody with any feedback on this website (or equivalent)? Good or bad experiences? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it crazy to bring a "nook"?

    I was considering taking my Nook with me on the camino. Is this a crazy idea? I really love to read (especially before I fall asleep each night) and I thought I could also use the Nook apps for some basic e-mail when there is wireless available. Anyone ever take a Kindle or Nook with them? Would...

    Late March 2012 Departure from US???

    I am planning on leaving from St. Jean on 3/28 and I am estimating about 33 days to end up in Santiago. I am excited and nervous all at the same time about this journey. :) I have done a lot of business travel over the years, but never any kind of travel where I used only "foot power" to get...
