    Walking Camino Frances as a couple

    I'm from British Columbia originally and it's famous for our West Coast Trail. There's a wee joke that says if you're thinking of spending the rest of your life with someone, hike the West Coast Trail with them. If you get through that successfully, you can get through anything. I say GO GO GO...

    women if your hair tangles easily...

    I would say try to find a bar of soap that has coconut oil in it (a natural but not "homemade" soap... and just a word about that: whenever you are buying homemade soap from a farmers market or a proper store, discreetly press your thumb into it. If it leaves a print, it still needs to cure for...

    Using a Cell Phone in Portugal: Tips for Traveling Canadians

    Turn your phone onto Airline mode and never take it off, is what I say. Fellow Canadian here and I know the roaming rates are outrageous. On one trip, I ensured I was on the hotel's wifi, took it off airplane mode for half an hour and BOOM! Nice charges on my next bill. Anyhow, take an old phone...

    cutting down the packing list

    Great tip here. We are leaving in 6 days, starting our Camino from SJPP April 15. My pack is 3.5 lbs heavier than I want it. Question: What do you clean your shoes with daily? I have this (which doubles as a shoe horn...just realized that after 25 years of owing the thing) and realize it is...

    Luggage Transfer From Pamplona To Ivar

    I am sure you know this, but I learned in Mexico if you are on a twisty bus route...try to sit at the front. It lessons your motion sickness.... and then there are also the bands you can buy for seasickness that work for some people, or you can just put a rock on your inner wrist (find the spot)...

    Reservations In Orrison And Roncesvalles??

    I leave in a week for my first Camino....I was told to book Orisson a few months in advance. I emailed them... Twice...before they emailed me back (10 days after my first email).... Be patient (but persistent)... Was advised no reservation necessary for Roncesvalles. Am guessing that might...

    I-Phone Tech Q

    Ya, I bought a cheap charger for the car so I could charge my phone in the car. Threw it out after the first partial charge because it made my phone so hot I thought it was going to explode.

    Flight cancellations and customer service

    Our flight from Guadalajara was once cancelled due to something wrong with the plane...they put us up in the airport hotel for the night and gave us vouchers for dinner and breakfast. Another time in MX, we got free drinks and food on board. In Canada you have to pay for your own hotel if...

    I-Phone Tech Q

    I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad mini (several years old) - Do I have to order a European adapter/USB plug from Amazon (I leave in 2 weeks) or can I just buy one at Gatwick or in Bordeaux (where I will be before SJPP)?

    Train tickets on sale today?

    Thanks so much - I did try 2 separate searches and it still advises that the only option is bus, not train. I´ve also tweeted to the train company and they´ve tweeted back to DM them with details..... I will also look into why there is no train to SJPP from Bayonne at the moment... interesting.

I am trying to book a train ticket from Bordeaux to SJPP on April 14 but it (they - I have tried several sites) says ¨No tickets available at this time¨....and one site (trainline.eu) says ¨This route is serviced by bus.¨ .... We were really hoping...

    women if your hair tangles easily...

    Eve, I have semi-long hair and it's *really* thick with some wavy curls. I went to the salon and got it "thinned" out which was a bonus, but my real saviour is Mountain Sky Hemp Bar (for hair and body) - no conditioner needed. I comb it out with an afro pick and it’s really easy (combing my hair...
