    Possibly cancelling my camino

    I think you are doing the right thing because you love your daughter and you give and serve out of love. But I wouldn’t skip a trip out of a sense of obligation because someone needs something. She would find a way however impossible it seems to her. It would not be wrong to go on the trip...

    How can I buy an Altus poncho/jacket in the US?

    I was lame and carried a lightweight travel umbrella (one week only but it rained hard every day). I don’t like the feel of the cold rain hitting me and nothing is truly waterproof with constant heavy rain. I used the umbrella a lot. Even when the winds threatened to invert it I held it like...

    Rates and reservations, 2 warnings - July 2021

    I hope things improve. I'm scheduled to start from Tui on Friday the 13th. Last time I booked ahead because it was Sarria to SC. I really yearn to not book though. I'm from a family of nervous people and now that is just me and my brave daughter I wanted to know the feeling of winging it...

    What's Your Go-To CF Shoe?

    I have those keens. Love them. But on long walks my pinky toe hits one of the straps at just the right angle to cause a blister. I like running shoes. brooks glycerin. I walk about 4 miles a day to work in Colorado. I did Camino Frances from sarria in 2019. No blisters with running shoes...

    Thanks for all your responses. We are very excited. We are booked by plane then renting a car and dropping it off on Aug 14 in Vigo! Then we are going to take the bus to Baiona or Tui or Valança. Any suggestions? I can't decide where to start. My daughter is very fit and 10 miles/22km a day...

    I did the last 100 km of the Camino Frances with my son a couple of years ago. Now I’m taking my daughter this summer. Should I try something different? I wish I could do more but alas it will have to wait til retirement? Should I do the last 100 km of the Frances again? Or something...

    Easter Camino

    Thanks all. My trip is almost done. One more night to book. I used all of your suggestions and links to book. Very much appreciated. My son and I are ready to go! I'm pretty excited. I read all about the dilemma of booking and will be very courteous about keeping my bookings. The plane...

    Easter Camino

    Yes thanks. Good to know the office is open, but I'm already committed to go at that time. I will try to make reservations as soon as possible. Any suggestions on making reservations now for the time period just before Easter? If I don' have a reservation when I show up I will be out of luck...

    Easter Camino

    Thanks, Last night I booked the Parador in Santiago so I just need to pick a route. Hopefully I can stay in some places cheaper on the way and be rewarded by the stay in the parador at the end. I don't like competing in crowds but I would like to meet people. I don't want my son to be totally...

    Easter Camino

    My first Camino. My 16 year old son and I are flying into Madrid March 22 2018 (I literally bought the plane tickets minutes ago). We hope to work our way up to Sarria and do a 100km if possible. We hope to experience as much of Semana Santa as possible but hope to find good places to eat that...
