    Anyone walking now???

    Life is shaping up that my next opportunity to Camino will be next year Dec/Jan. I would love to hear first hand from someone doing it, what it is actually like on the Way over the Christmas season. (I know there's many posts about it but would love some real time commentary) If you're out...

    LIVE from the Camino Snakes in an albergue - La Quintana

    Last night, on one of two ventures to the bathroom, there was a snake on the dining room floor. I was alarmed when i saw him, but perhaps more distressed the second time when i didn't see him! I this morning told the owner, who seemed not to believe me given the head shaking, eye rolling and...

    Poles

    I just walked through security in Halifax, Nova Scotia with two hiking poles that got nary a second look. Let the debate rage...

    Ugh...decisions

    So I know that there is no 'answer' to this, and quite frankly maybe no-one is interested, but maybe writing it down will help me move on! In May, I booked a trip. 5 weeks (give or take), flying into Biarritz, to walk Irun to Santiago starting September 10th. My circumstances have changed...

    AlertCop app - virus

    I have recently started having weird things happen with my phone. Audio ads randomly start playing, out of the blue, waking me up in the middle of the night. They can't be turned off. There are no programs running. Anyway, Google tells me other people have experienced this...generally after...

    Keen Newport

    As we all know, it's impossible to give shoes a good workout trial before buying them. I am considering the Keen sandals to hike in and I know that many do. I went and tried some on yesterday and liked them very much. (That said, I was going to opt for the men's as the women's were very...

    Getting Old.

    I am of a certain age. That certain age where 'getting old' starts to rear its head when it simply was never a conceivable concept before. It has come on aggressively in the last year or so, since my last Camino. My hair suddenly has a lot of natural highlights. I've been thinking about...

    Tales of love found on the Camino??

    I am convinced that the right person for me would be someone in the Camino family. (If it's you, call me!!) :) There must be many stories of love found on the Camino. Would love to hear some.

    To go or not to go

    Hello. I have found my way back to this page as I start to think about another Camino. I hope to walk the Norte in September of this year. I thought I would post in the event anyone has wisdom or for those who have been or are in the same place....the decision of whether to go or not. I am...

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    I am using the Camino to mark a major transition. I lost my job some time ago, couldn't find a job, went back to school, used my savings, so had to sell my house (closes next week). So, I am purging all of my belongings down to what fits in my car (using Camino packing thinking). I am first...

    Depart Seville May 5th, VDLP

    I am making this thread so I can create a Calendar entry in the event any one is looking for who is travelling the route along the same time. I was fortunate to get a room (albeit expensive) at the Triana when the whole city seems to be sold out at this time. Am arriving there May 3rd and...

    ASD on the Camino

    I thought I would open a thread on here in the event there are any similar people and/or for the benefit of those who many not be. I am diagnosed on the Autism spectrum (high functioning - Asperger's in the earlier DSM). For me, and everyone is different, this means highly intelligent, but a...

    Panicking...

    Hello. I made a relatively impromptu decision to do the Camino when I lost my job three weeks ago. I had felt that I didn't need to worry about too much (and even as I write this, I realize that there will be plenty of people to ask along the way, so I probably still don't need to worry) but...
