    Arriving in Barcelona by Ship 4/30/15

    Wonderful to know there might be another pilgrim onboard! I too am looking at that Feb 3 date....last chance to get a refund/ change plans.

    Arriving in Barcelona by Ship 4/30/15

    No, it's a cruise ship so the hardest part will be spending less time at the buffet and more time in the fitness center LOL !

    Arriving in Barcelona by Ship 4/30/15

    Not a freighter, although that would be interesting I'm sure! I'm taking the Norwegian Epic cruise ship. It's a repositioning cruise so they have some fantastic rates, as low as $399 per person.

    Arriving in Barcelona by Ship 4/30/15

    Hello Everyone, Just wondering if there are any other pilgrims sailing instead of flying to Spain from the USA? I'm retired, so the longer travel time is not an issue for me. One advantage to taking a ship is that you will have absolutely no jetlag when you arrive! Buen Camino!

    Barcelona to SJPDP by Train/Bus

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    I will share a foot preparation method that my brother, a "triple crown" hiker, swears by: A good way to toughen your feet and minimize blisters is to make a solution of alcohol and black tea. Put 6 single size tea bags in a pint of rubbing alcohol. Let it to set for a week, apply twice a...
