    Just booked my flight!!

    Hi Larissa, I'm from NJ, just about 20 mins or so from Philly. I walked the Camino last spring and have to say that I'm very envious that you'll be starting soon. I'd love to do it again, but unfortunately that's a long way off. Just wanted to say "Buen Camino" to a neighbor. No doubt you're...

    Camino in April

    I walked the Camino last Spring. I started at the end of March with snow in Roncesalles and finished in the beginning of May with much warmer temps. Inbetween there was rain, wind and mud to contend with, but also many beautiful, sunny days. As I am not a lover of heat I thought the conditions...

    LIVE from the Camino In Cizur Menor

    Hi everyone, I just arrived in Cizur Menor a few hours ago. The weather is beautiful, about 65 degrees or so and blue, blue skies. I arrived in Spain on the 26th and stayed overnight in Pamplona. The next day I took the bus to Roncesvalles and attended the Mass there. It was wonderful...

    2 days to go

    Michael, Mermaidlilli, Clarisa, and Arn, Thank you so much for the warm wishes. Your words mean more than I can say. It's a comforting thought to know that you're "right behind me" as Arn put it. Buen Camino to all of you! Arlene

    Well guys, in exactly 2 days I'll be on my way to Mardid, and by the end of the week, I'll be walking my camino.I can't believe it's finally here! Tomorrow I'll go through my pack one last time to see if there is anything I feel I can eliminate. Everything else has been taken care of. I want...

    Train ticket

    Laurie, Thanks for the detailed info. Now that I know there is no bus between 10:30 and 3:00 I think I'll stick with the original plan and take the train. I'm thinking of taking a cab from the airport to the train station. I know it will be more expensive that way, but it seems like the...

    Train ticket

    Hi Laurie, Thanks for checking out the bus schedule. I was on the ALSA website but only saw buses leaving at 10:30 and then not until 3:00 pm. From your info it looks like I have a lot more options. I'm flying out of Philadelphia on the 25th. I'll arrive in Madrid around 9:30 am on the 26th...

    Train ticket

    Thanks you for the advice. I have considered the bus but I can't get any info on bus schedules. For some reason the website http://www.movelia.es isn't working for me. I guess I'll just keep trying. Arlene

    preparations

    Bear50, Wow, I'm impressed with your pack weighing so little, especially with having to bring the extra clothing!! That's where I'm having the most trouble. Even though I made a point to buy light weight items, it's the clothing that seems to weigh the most. Best wished to you for a buen...

    preparations

    Well, today is March 1st and I leave on the 25th!!! The last few months have gone by so quickly and now here I am, less than a month away. As far as my preparation goes, I walk my dog almost everyday for a few miles. A few times a week I take the dog home and continue on my own for a few more...

    Train ticket

    I'm debating on whether I should buy my train ticket from Madrid to Pamplona in advance? I'm not sure if that's necessary??? Anyone have any suggestions? Arlene

    Mid March Camino

    Hi Winuska, I'll be starting out from Roncesvalles on March 27 or 28th, close to when you'll be walking. I can completely relate to the nervousness/concerns about walking alone, weather conditions etc., especially now that the time is getting so close. But more than anything else, I'm just...
