I was excited to see the South Korean flag in my Facebook feed this morning. My son-in-laws family immigrated to the US from South Korea when he was 7 and my four granddaughters are half Korean. I am going to assume there is no prejudice in the question but rather you are wondering "why?" and...
Oh for heaven's sake, Tincatinker! They actually asked you if you really had a heart condition? What do you have? I have an ascending aortic aneurysm. It was scary at first, but I have been evaluated several times now and I am getting used to it. It is stable, for the most part, so I figure...
I was so excited to come back tonight to all of these great replies! I love all of your insight.
My hope is definitely to lose a few pounds, although I would be happier to lose them before I go! :roll:
I also would like to reset my sleep rhythm. Currently I work primarily as a nutrition...
As a registered dietitian, I am curious about the effect on the body when walking 500 miles in 30 days. We know people get blisters, tendonitis, sunburn, and even broken bones. But what about good benefits?
I am considering getting my cholesterol checked right before I leave and then right...
I would like to share my experience, even though this string is old. We took a transatlantic cruise in 2010 that started in Barcelona. I take 9 different Rx (including Vicodin) for various conditions, so I asked the mail order pharmacy to send me tiny bottles with the prescription on them rather...
Thank you both Rebekah and vagabondette (by the way, we spelled my daughter's name Rebekah also!). Maybe it will be ok to take a bus or shuttle now and then. I also like the idea of starting at Roncesvalles..........Could take the shuttle from SJPDP.
Lots to think about...........thanks!!!
I have vitamins/medications that I take every day. In general, when we travel internationally, I do what another writer said above and travel on the plane with it all in original packaging with a note from my doctor. Once I get to my destination, I sort into the daily baggies and pitch the...
Yes and no....I knew there was a pilgrim path in Spain, but literally that was just it.....a tiny thought in my mind. I didn't know what it was called or know anything about it.
On the other hand, I did the 10 mile or so pilgrim walk in Toronto to see JPII when he was there for World Youth...
That is a good question, and you are right, I didn't explain myself well. I didn't know if you could take horses for just segments of the trip. I know people can choose to walk segments, so *hoped* that the people who did horse tours might do the same.
As far as taking a taxi for segments, I...
Hi Everyone, Thank you for your prompt replies! We will look over the links you gave us. I did a search, but didn't find easily what I was looking for.
It would be the sustained climbing that could be a problem. (I have an ascending aortic aneurysm; believe it or not they don't always operate...
My husband and I are just beginning to formulate how we might do the Camino Frances in the coming couple of years. I appreciate every nugget of wisdom you have all graciously laid at our novice feet!
My dilemma is that I have a congenital heart condition that will (probably) preclude me from...
