    Spontaneously booked! Now what?

    You know how you make miracles happen? YOU.BUY.A.TICKET! You stepped out to make it happen. You put it out there. It's so easy to paralyze yourself in life with over-thinking things. We walked in the fall of 2014. Wildest and WISEST decision I ever made in my life. If I could offer one thought...

    Lissbon to Santiago - How many days did it take you?

    Thank you so much Albertinho re: the Alverca da Ribatejo to Azambuja as I've been searching and searching as our safety on the road is paramount. That's exactly the information that I needed esp the easy connection from Santa Apalonia station in Lisbon by commuter train. You made my weekend!

    1 Week to go. SHOE FEARS

    Check into some Superfeet insoles if your gut tells you something's not right. I was going to just wear the regular insoles that were in my shoes/boots and then started to feel nervous. My husband and I both switched out to the Superfeet, and wow, were we ever happy that we did. Saved our feet...

    Hello from Texas.

    Joel, I hope you and your wife, Mayra, enjoy the adventure ahead of you! My husband and I started in SJPDP and walked the Camino Frances in 2014. WISEST decision of my life. I'm so glad I bought the tickets! If you are going to Finisterre, have you heard about Muxia? You may by interested in...

    Bagpipes in Santiago?

    Thank you to all of for the info and the links--it helps. So excited to be in Santiago soon! I was injured earlier on the Alto del Perdon. Thought I was going to have to fly back to the U.S. but I rallied back and was able to stay and finish. I'm all jazzed and elated that I'm still here...

    Bagpipes in Santiago?

    We are arriving in Santiago on Monday, October 2o. We should be entering Santiago in the morning--yea! Just a simple question, do you know if they play bagpipes every day when pilgrims arrive or is that scheduled at different times of day? If so, what times? We wanted to listen to them if...

    Iceland raises Bardarbunga volcano threat level alert to orange

    I'm really concerned now as we fly over to get ready to start our Camino on September 7th. I've already experienced one volcano, Mount St. Helens back in 1980, and the sheer force of a volcano is devastating. I hope this one settles down. At the time, I lived in Spokane, WA; 300 miles away. We...

    Is A Pre-Camino Recon Trip An Acceptable Plan? Bad Karma?

    Only you "know" what you need to do or what works best for you. I'm walking the Camino this fall for the first time. I want to be surprised and revel in the discovery of the path. Like a first kiss; probably awkward, probably clumsy, but it's my FIRST doorway to the new passage. I would...

    2014 Current Bus schedule from Muxia to Santiago

    I've been searching through threads but not sure what the current 2014 bus schedule is from Muxia to Santiago as we would be taking the bus later in the season. We plan to walk from Santiago to Muxia and then would like to take a bus back from Muxia to Santiago. We hope to catch the Muxia bus...

    Travel from Paris to Bayonne

    Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and advice. It helped a lot. You answered many questions about what's open since we are starting out so early in the morning. Thanks for the links as I'll save those. Big sigh of relief when we make it to SJPDP. Moses Lake, I lived in Spokane for years...

    Travel from Paris to Bayonne

    I've been reading as much as I can on the forum to learn and recently hit a snag planning how to get down to SJPDP in September, 2014. I'm elated we are coming! Our first night in Paris we are staying very close to the Place de Clichy metro. We plan on taking the TGV train to Bayonne in the...

    Orission! Can You Hear Me Now ?

    Joe, I wanted to let you know that I just received our invoice for Orisson today for September 2014 and paid it. I was concerned as I hadn't heard back (as I've never done this before) but I would trust they are getting back to you soon. They may be working through a stack of paperwork right...

    Walking from Santiago to Muxia?

    I'm learning how the camin works and want to say thank you. I posted yesterday and then started to cook dinner. I didn't know that others were already responding to my post. Cooking dinner, I mentioned to my husband that I read something a long time ago about "a fox" but couldn't remember all of...

    Walking from Santiago to Muxia?

    Thank you, everyone! This is my first post so I was stunned by how many of you responded. I've been a lurker for quite awhile to learn from all of you. Your help is invaluable with the resources, ideas, and knowledge that all of you shared. Bela Muxia sounds like a restful place to stay. I...

    Walking from Santiago to Muxia?

    This forum is a Godsend as we are planning on walking the Camino this year starting in SJPDP. Can you help me? I've been searching as it seems I can only find info about the Santiago to Finisterra loop then over to Muxia. We are thinking that after Santiago that we would like to walk to Muxia...
