    How much do your backpacks weigh?

    We are leaving in a few days... currently my pack weighs 25lbs before food/snacks and water. I weigh 200 lbs and I'm 5'10". A lil extra weight doesn't scare me. I'm thinking I'm gonna max it out at 30 lbs. I have an awesome backpack and I can't really feel the 30 lbs as heavy...and even at 30...

    Need Your Prayers !!

    I had a membership letter from APOC..and I took my pilgrim passport with me...did not help. I did not know APOC issued certificate as well. I am getting in contact with them today.

    Need Your Prayers !!

    I agree. It might just be impossible to just apply to a different country. I will keep trying and trying before I give up. We have invested quite a lot of time and resources into it and I'm really hopeful it will all work out. If not, yes...next year isn't that far.

    Need Your Prayers !!

    I am a member of the APOC and I think it's a very good idea... I will contact them. I have been sending emails to the Spanish consulate and embassy, I will maybe even make some calls today too. But I have few hopes of getting much help from them directly. The fact that they have outsourced the...

    Need Your Prayers !!

    The same thought did occur to me last night too as my mind has been in crisis mode. I looked up a few websites and I think it is feasible. I really did not want to think about resorting to these workarounds before, I think, but now I am starting to. Thank you

    We are Wimps!

    We are so obsessed with happiness and comfort that we sometimes fail to see the value if sadness and discomfort and new ways of thinking it may lead to. You fully know a person after you've hiked with them...seen who they are/become/we're all along after they've walked 5 miles uphill. The facade...

    Norwegian is the worst!

    Norwegian has a history of either cancelling flights or changing dates/time without so much as how do you do. You could recoup any lost cost if you had travel insurance or if it's a perk your credit card company offers. It's also fun to call them and give them a piece of your mind...or go...

    Closed albergues in Pamplona during San Fermin

    This thread has been really enlightening. The questions, concerns, downplaying of risks by certain members and willingness to face the risks by the others. There is a certain spirit of walking the camino that i feel is lost on the minds seeking thrills and "fun". I agree that the problem of...
