    Back home with my thoughts on a very brief Camino

    Thank you all for the wonderful support! I relied so much on this forum before and during my Camino. I only hope that I can make a small contribution to support those whose Camino is just beginning. My second Camino is a bit more delayed than I had hoped. I learned yesterday that I have...

    Back home with my thoughts on a very brief Camino

    Hi: I am back home after a very abbreviated Camino. I left SJPP on May 6th. Unfortunately, I injured my knee on the climb up the Napoleon route, and despite a 5 night stay in Viskarret/Biskarreta and a six night rest in Pamplona, I could not recover enough to continue. Although my experience...

    Liner Socks

    I did not get the opportunity to walk for long, but the cool max liners under Smart Wool socks did not work for me. I got two blisters. I think the problem is my narrow foot. Even the small liner was too big, so I had too much room for slippage. I switched to Injeri toe socks under the Smart...

    In Pamplona and Need Assistance

    Thanks, Patty. The young man at the front desk -- although very nice-- did not have a clue as to where to go to purchase luggage. That was my first thought, also.

    In Pamplona and Need Assistance

    Hi: I started my Camino earlier this month. I have injured my left leg and cannot continue. On my travel to Spain from Phoenix I carried my backpack on board the aircraft. In my present condition, I can barely walk. I am not able to walk and carry my backpack. I am hoping to buy a suitcase...

    Last Minute Help Needed

    My heart is dancing. . . After a three week delay in my departure, I have just learned that I will be able to commence my Camino next week albeit without my planned partner, Will. I will fly out of Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday morning, May 5th, and hopefully arrive in SJPP the evening of the...

    Cost Calculator for Camino Francés

    The calculator worked great for me at 45 days. I agree that adding beer/wine, pharmacy, and museum admission categories would be helpful for planning. My thanks to you and your web designer for this helpful tool.

    Backpack concern

    Deuter and Osprey both have backpacks designed specifically for women. I found a Deuter that works for my narrow shoulders. Many pilgrims like the Jade backpacks as well. Good luck, and Buen Camino!

    Say you had from Christmas to April free. What would you do?

    Hi Jeff: There are some pilgrims who only do winter Caminos. I feel sure that those pilgrims will respond. In the meantime, it is your Camino. You should do it on your own time. Winter on the Camino cannot be nearly as bad as winter in ND! Smile. :D

    Class of 2013

    Hi: I own up to being a member of the class of 2013. My partner, Will, and I had planned to leave Arizona on April 15th. We have a slight delay as we were both -- in the same week -- told by our respective doctors that we have small skin lesions which turned out to be skin cancer. Mine which...

    The Camino is well signposted but are the Albergues?

    I also have the CSJ guide. I ordered it online. CSJ posted it from London on March 27th, and it arrived in Prescott, Arizona in the USA on April 5th. It has a weather-resistant cover :lol: Julie
