    What do you recommend for footwear and sleeping bag that will not break the bank

    oh,...... and I should mention, as others have mentioned to me,......... don't sweat the small stuff. High heels likely won't work, but people have been walking this camino for generations. Grab a pair of any good walking shoes and you will find your way to Santiago. where are you located?

    What do you recommend for footwear and sleeping bag that will not break the bank

    should you decide you need a sleeping bag, that could be a borrowed. my wife and I both ended up buying Merrell shoes after purchasing and returning other shoes previously. these appear to be PERFECT for our feet. if you have an REI store near you, it is worth spending a couple of extra bucks...

    From California to Camino! Starting June 1st, 2015 :)

    josie, it's either $3 or $4 per per person to use the park. If you walk all the time, it's cheaper to pay $40 for the household for the yearly pass. FYI. maybe we'll run into you out there.

    From California to Camino! Starting June 1st, 2015 :)

    my wife and I live in Temecula. We have been hiking every weekend up at the Santa Rosa Plateau. it's gorgeous, and the terrain is varied, so you get a bit of a workout while training. It's a bit of a drive for you, but thought I would share the option.

    Torn...

    My wife and I have yet to make our Camino journey. We intend to do it together however, we tend to prefer being together. I like to use the reference of the television. She has shows that she likes to watch and I have shows that I like to watch, but sometimes they do not co mingle. When we are...

    Different types of accomodations?

    I'm not sure where I found it, but I have an excel spreadsheet of many/most/all(?) accommodations on the camino frances. I can't figure out how to attach it to a post, so if you want me to email it to you, just shoot me a private message with your email address and I'll send it over.

    Flying into CDG on April 28 2015

    Stephen, my wife and I just got back from a trip to Paris and the process of getting through customs was brief. I would guesstimate that from landing to exiting the airport was about 45 minutes. My only suggestion is that you research in advance, a secondary train departure time so that you can...
