    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD great airfares, but is it safe to go to Spain?

    It's as safe as it can be. I went with a friend to France last September to walk the Podiensis. No real problems. We did get the Covid pass QR code while we were there after applying online but only a very few lodgings checked it. I think it's a mixed bag but good to have proof of vaccination...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    Good point, I hadn't thought about that.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    I agree entirely and tried to find out one had to wait before doing another rapid test but couldn't find an answer. If you begin your testing 72 hours out then you have all the up to your flight departure to do another test and if it were me I would not present the positive test results, just go...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    It's confusing I know. The PCR and antigen tests only show whether the virus is active. Yes that means it can be positive but that's why I would get the RAPID test (yes less accurate but not as sensitive as the PCR) and if it's positive don't present it to the authorities. Not true. PCR and...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Italy New Restrictions on US visitors (9/1 announcement)

    I seem to have hit a hot topic. My advice simply has to with my motto, "better to be safe than sorry". I'm proactive not reactive. One never knows when the rules will change since the situation is getting worse not better. My advice is based on my upcoming trip to France. I have always...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    I should not have gone so far in my previous entry since I'm not a DR or Pharmacist but rather a PT. When I said new test I didn't mean a new type of test. This I did read. There are three types of tests available for COVID-19 that can detect whether a person had it in the past (serology...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    It has been my experience that officials interpret the CDC rules differently. Example, Sunday past my good friend flying to France would not have been able to board her flight in Evansville IN if she didn't present a neg PCR or rapid antigen test. She argued that it was not required but none...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD USA "Documents of Recovery"

    You would be wise to get the new test as the American authorities requires. Just get it and be done with it is what I say.

    Easier just to get one even if it costs.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Italy New Restrictions on US visitors (9/1 announcement)

    My answer would be get one or the other anyway that way you're covered

    Waist Packs!

    My guide goes in the side leg pocket of my hiking pants. My fanny pack as we call them in the USA is big enough for sunglasses, small money and credit card purse, chapstick, handkerchief, pen. I keep my phone in my zipped back pocket. After hiking I use it as a cross body bag so I chose orange.

    How did/do you carry your iPad/tablet/valuables???

    Maybe just old fashioned pen and paper plus your phone.

    Peregrinas, did you use your urination device on your camino?

    Yes I think it's worth it.

    Via de la Plata Oct 2022

    I would say not optimum. Early spring is still cooler down south, the days get longer which means you don't have to start and end in the dark which happens in the fall. Going north you'll catch nicer weather as you get closer to Santiago. I too am looking at the beginning of March. Check...

    Dyslexic.... are the camino routes possible with no gps? Dyslexic, bad with technology but do you think a possibility would be using a book?

    No need for GPS. Just use your guide book and watch for the yellow arrows.

    Walking from Lisbon to Porto

    Having walked from Lisbon to SdC I can tell you that several people, ourselves included found it boring until about Tomar. You could start there.
