    Comment by 'Veronicad1' in media 'Geeks Only #4'

    God willing, start in late September. Right now I’m spending yet another year waiting for some orthopedic surgeon in the state of Florida to take on fixing my knees. They’re both simple outpatient surgeries, really! It’s just finding GOOD doctors (I gave up on great) who have time on their...

    01/02/18 ***Airfare Alert***

    Last year I used the app Hopper to monitor flights. I grabbed a great RT flight to/from FLL to Paris on Norwegian Airlines for $480, used Skyscanner for internal flight (Barcelona to Paris) and hotels then Rome2Rio for trains, buses and the rest. I spent less than $1,000 US total for travel. I...

    Best way to Mauléon-Licharre from Florida

    Thank you Sabine! I have a list of gites from Mauléon to SJPP but it's the getting there that was the problem. Now I can plan as airfare (for now) is affordable to Paris and even connecting to Bayonne. Oh, I did have this for once I got there http://www.xacobeo.fr/ZE1.11.Aqu.Pie.htm

    Best way to Mauléon-Licharre from Florida

    I know, by plane. Now having solved that part of the dilemma, here's the rest: I can fly out of Fort Lauderdale or Miami equally. I just don't know if it's better to fly into Billbao or Paris(Charles DeGaulle) or Bayonne or what. I want to visit my friend's grave in Mauléon and start my Camino...

    Luggage Storage

    Hi Ivar! I was curious if it's cheaper to send to you my suitcase from the states OR bring with me to France (where I'll start in Mauleon) and then ship my suitcase from possibly Bordeaux. Also looking for books/maps in English that cover that part of the Camino. THANK YOU

    List of Albergues, Le Puy to St. Jean PP

    Thank you! I also received a reply with a list of the Pilgrim hostels from Mauléon to SJPP. I am looking forward to going. I know it's going to break my heart when I see my friend's grave; he is the only man I ever granted permission to marry my daughter. He absolutely adored my daughter but...

    List of Albergues, Le Puy to St. Jean PP

    At the APOC meeting on Sunday is found that I want to start my Camino in late friend André's hometown. I can visit his home and grave, perhaps meet family and friends too. That would put me near the end of the Le Puy route. I can spend the night in Larceveau at a pilgrim's hostel there then go...

    Best compression sack(s) Plus best shirts

    I was planning to take some because you know, I can sneeze and have to change clothes. However, the other comments about using them to dry your shoes and as insole liners are brilliant! They don't weigh that much or take up that much space so why not? LOL you ladies are brilliant!!! ❤️

    Best compression sack(s) Plus best shirts

    Thank you. I have cut down to two of everything and I will take the long underwear only because those pants are quite there. Then again, they are silk so they're almost as light as air. I've been debating a fleece but everything else I have cut down and I'm weighing my pack to get it under 15...

    Best compression sack(s) Plus best shirts

    Thank you! Yes, I've lost readers and having a spair pair is the idea. They're the FG folding ones for my 59 year old eyes. I thought I was over packing and of course REI LOVES seeing me walk in! I need extra underwear for my equally as old bladder so that I won't foego but some of the stuff can...

    I never thought of doggy poop bags! Thank you. I may forgo a pair of zip pants. Even so, it all fits and is under 10 lbs before the backpack. Mos

    Best compression sack(s) Plus best shirts

    Wow, no one has called me that for at least 40 years. Anyway, I would like information on compression sacks and shirts. From what I've read cotton t-shirts are a bad idea; dry SLOW and uncomfortable. Thanks.

    Best compression sack(s) Plus best shirts

    I'm hoping to walk the Camino this fall and I'm currently going through everything I've purchased and now cutting it down. I would like to know what would be the best compression sack or sacks for clothing and/or a sleeping bag and a case for first aid supplies. I have a Deuter Act Lite 45+10...

    Altus Poncho Observations

    Thank you! Ordered today, will be here in Florida in 2-3 weeks. Have a friend who is a seamstress and she will fix the sleeves and install vents. We're going with velcro tabs to close the vents so I will let you all know how that works out. I'm walking the Camino in the fall so by the time I...
