OMG, I can't believe it!!!! I had a feeling I needed to check out the movie's FB page & did so right when they announced they had 10 pairs of tix to the Austin, Texas screening AND the Q&A following with Mr. Sheen & Mr. Estevez!! I am *SO* pumped it's not even funny!!!
I'm hoping a friend can...
Planning to be in Spain during June, July, August? If you book an ibis hotel from the website during the above dates, the cost is 45 Euro.

I stayed at the Ibis hotel in Barajas. It was clean & comfortable, plus they had this offer that if something was wrong with...
If the thought of yet another ensalada mixta is not appealing to you, head for Asian Express on Rua Franco (walk away from the cathedral.) It will be on your left shortly before you get to a very busy street. They serve Turkish & Thai food. I had the doner kebab meal every time I went & it...
Just a quick note to let folks know that there is a brand spanking new albergue in Rabe de las Calzadas, which opened in August 8, 2009. Liberanos Domine (I think) It is a nice, clean, comfy albergue, 8 euro for bed, 8 for a home-made dinner, & 2 for breakfast. Holds about 24 people. The...
Or rather will be in a few minutes when my friend picks me up for the drive to the airport. I hope I've packed the right things & that my pack is not too heavy. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I'll be in SJP on Monday afternoon, & start off the next day. :shock: :shock: :shock...
and I can't find a bank locally who will tranfer dollars to Euros. Do they take Pay Pal? Or Ivar, can you help with this? Hopefully, I stil have a reservation....

My new blog for this particular Camino! http://750pints.blogspot.com/
Still putting it together, but please follow me on my camino there. The other blog is still "live," but I'll be posting from the 750 one for the time being. :)

I was asked by elzi to edit out the post. She has updated her blog so you can see her review there.
Just a word to the wise that the albergue in Rabe continues to get bad reviews & it might be worth your while to either stop in Tardajos or continue on to Hornillos.

Anyone have any further information on this? Was it just for last year or only during the summer? I've never heard of it, until Sil mentioned it in a post to me & I thought she was talking about the stone shelter that's been there for eons. :lol:
Any information would be great. It's not in...
I re-read my journal from last September's trip. Hard to believe that this time last year, I was in Ventosa. Anyway, I noted in my journal an interesting thing about the church bells in some of the smaller towns. In Zubiri & Azofra, the bells have a "snooze alarm"--they ring the hour once &...
Anyone know where I can locate this information online? Last time I walked the Camino, the friends I was walking with got the schedule in Sto Domingo. Because of time contraints due to work, I'm having to work in "rest days" by using the bus to keep moving forward. IIRC, there are daily...

I've decided that when I walk the Camino again, I will start once more from Roncesvalles & walk all the way to Santiago. Because of my recent illness, I would like to try to do what Gareth did on his walk, but instead of your money, I want...
Okay, I'm getting this really wild idea to walk more of the Camino, especially the parts I missed out on the last 2 go-rounds. Tenatively (based on the amount of time I actually have), I'll walk from Pamplona to Puente La Reina, stopping by Eunate. Since I really didn't care for the route...
:(
I've had to use too much annual leave to campaign (it's presidential wacky season in the US :lol: ), so now I don't have enough to take off for 3 weeks in May. :( I'm still planning to go sometime this year, probably in September from Leon or Virgen del Camino.
Kelly
I came across a reference to a local bus from Leon (Plaza Sto Domingo) to Virgen del Camino & was wondering if anyone knew which route number it was & when it runs? I'm making some tentative plans for my 3rd excursion to the Camino & while I would like to see this church, it's not fitting into...
I've updated my blog with the albergues I stayed at this last time. I've got some pics of them up too, but not all of them yet. As always, if you have anything to add, please feel free to leave a comment. :arrow:
Kelly
I know you guys are making your way home by now, so I'd like to remind you to please forward me your pics from Sept. 12. Please try to get them to me by the end of October. :) My email address is kbeafitz@gmail.com . Thanks to those of you who have already sent them! I can't wait to put this...
