    Bed Bug spray where to buy it?

    Our Camino was fantastic and I don't know why I was so worried about bedbugs - nary a one! I suspect if you stay in the cheaper Albergues then it may become an issue but we stayed in smaller albergues and refugio's and it was great...we bought a cheap phone in Logrono and got into the habit of...

    Apprehensive now with a tinge of "uh oh"

    First of all - Calm down! It will be fine. You can JacoTrans your pack ahead every day for as little as 7EU - easy - I did from Roncesvalles to Burgos when I felt strong enough to start carrying it - just planned ahead every day, decided where to stay and had the Albergue or hostel or hotel...

    I wouldn't have known what to do...

    Does anyone know where or what I can get here in Canada to pretreat my bag and bedding before we leave? I can't find anything...although I guess I can wait until SJPP and buy Clako at the pilgrim office...but I am getting a bit paranoid about the little buggers!! We leave for our Camino on May...

    Camino Frances May 15 - Jun 14, 2015

    angie T it would cost us more to fly to Toronto than to London! Hahaha Was thinking Vancouver to London to Paris, bus to SJPP but may rethink that!

    Hi - hubby and I are walking the Camino Frances May 2015 - planning on 28 - 30 days of walking. Anyone know of best travel plans from Vancouver BC? Thought we'd go from YVR - London - Paris and then train to SJPP and begin there and then fly Santiago back to London - YVR?? Anyone else going...

    I have questions about my pack for my first camino?

    I'm thinking your pack is the culprit - it must weigh a bit empty - good brand or not - try weighing it empty and you'll know
