    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    Re: IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off in March 2013 Thank you so much for these updates. We are not beginning until March 22, 2013. Praying the snow melts by then. We have red rain ponchos. If we put reflective tape on them will that do?

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    Sounds like the best of both worlds. I did make the decision to stay in private accomodations and have my luggage transferred. I really do not see that my experience will be any different either way.

    bed bugs 2013

    I've posted about this previously. I did carry bed bugs home from Europe on one of my trips. Getting rid of them when you didn't know you carried them home is a much bigger problem then worrying about getting bit. It cost me big time to get rid of them. I did read one post here mentioning...

    How safe is the Pyrenees pass in March?

    We are traveling the camino in March as well. Maybe we will see you on the way. We have decided to take the easier route since we are not experienced in hiking at all. Great advice from all though.

    Easter on the Camino

    I was planning on being in Puente La Reina on 27th March. I'll actually be in Lorgono on Easter Sunday March 31, 2013. It sounds like there are celebrations all week in every little town. Is this so? Is Lorgono too big and not the best place to be celebrating Easter? I certainly have time...

    bed bug help

    I went to Italy in 2009 and brought home bed bugs. Cost me $2500 by the end of my ordeal to get rid of those suckers! So this time when I walk the camino I don't intend to bring anything home. They will even hide in electronics. I suggest enjoying your walk. If the bites are bothering you...
