Plan is to start walking from SJPDP April 7th, flights booked bags packed and ready to go. My girlfriend and I are excited to experience the camino and of course meet...

    No Permethrin in Canada?!

    Good day all, Starting my Camino in April and I have a question regarding bed bugs and preventative sprays. Eye rolls and groans I know I know there have been so many bed bug posts but despite searching the forums I have been unable to find an answer. My plan is to pre-treat my gear with...

    Am I being naive?

    Hello and welcome to the forum! I don't see any reason at all why you couldn't plan for and complete your camino. Having months and months and months to plan may be nice, but is not a necessity. Use this forum as much as you can, order a guidebook and read it once, twice, three times cover to...

    Biarritz Airport Transfer??

    Thanks everyone, I too received a quote for 120 euros, I will try to see if anyone else is around to help share the cost but I don't think January 17th will be a busy day for pilgrims traveling to SJPDP. I don't think I will use this service if I end up solo, too expensive for my taste and...

    Best 'Port of Entry' Paris or Madrid

    Hi Robo, I too faced the same situation a few months ago when booing my flights (coming from Canada). I eventually decided to purchase a multi-city ticket, flying into Paris for the start of my camino and out of Madrid at the end of it. In my research, getting to SJPDP from Paris or Madrid...

    The movie, "Wild"

    I read the book awhile ago, long before I heard of the camino. I thought it was a good read, I really like stories like hers. I will definitely see the movie when it comes around.

    No phone....risky?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, lots and lots of good information, both for and against taking a phone. I never intended this thread to go on so long, I hope I didn't stir anything up as that was never my intention. Since posting the original question, I've decided to take a phone. My iphone 4...

    Trashing the El Camino

    This is a great idea! I'm walking in January and I pledge to bring a big garbage day and do a clean up day at least once over the five weeks I'll be walking.

    Travel from California to Sjdp

    Attitude

    Every time I post a question to the forum, I spend a fair amount of time going back in forth in my mind, "is this a stupid question?" and "this has probably been asked a thousand times". I do search old posts as much as I can, but sometimes it's nice to ask the questions exactly how I want...

    No phone....risky?

    This has been my primary concern. I am not really too worried about emails, text messages, facebook etc as I am not really into that stuff even when it is accessible. Emergencies are of small concern to me (but not NO concern) but primarily I worry about being cold, tired, blistered and...

    No phone....risky?

    Thanks everyone, may I ask what is meant by "burner phone", are you meaning I should buy a cheap phone once I am in spain? Or buy a cheap unlocked phone here in Canada before I go over? Either way great information and after reading some replies I will most surely be taking a phone of some...

    No phone....risky?

    Good morning everyone! Just this morning as I was getting into my truck to drive to work, I dropped my cell phone into a huge snow drift. It's now totally dead which isn't a huge deal as it was very old and ready to be exchanged basically anytime. However, I was planning on bringing my phone...
