    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    I am definitely going to look for caffeine tablets. As much as I love my one morning mug of coffee, it's not the end of the world if I don't get it. But the ensuing headache from lack of caffeine to kickstart my day is unbearable. Hopefully tablets will address this. Thanks.

    Accommodation in Paris

    Good choice! I stayed there in 2018, and if plans are able to be kept will stay there again in September.

    Postal Service (direct) from Porto to Santiago de Compostela?

    Thanks, Doug. Where did you stay in Santiago? Did you have to give Tuitrans the exact destination and day when you dropped it off? I'm unsure how many days we will take to walk.

    Postal Service (direct) from Porto to Santiago de Compostela?

    How did this work out for you??? I plan to leave Porto on May 1st, but would like to send my exra (small) suitcase on ahead to Santiago without having to deal with it on a daily basis. Thanks for any tips!

    The Coffee Question?

    Hmmm...I will look in to a caffeine pill, methinks. My daily routine of a morning cappuccino has apparently given me an addiction whereby if I haven't had my "dose" within an hour or so, a headache begins. I can do without the comfort of my routine, but don't want to deal with the accompanying...

    Hiking Skirts

    Ditto on the Purple Rain skirt...can't say enough good things about it! And especially love that it comes from a little cottage industry. I wore mine every single day that I walked the CF with the exception of a few cool mornings. I have ordered a second one in a different color to take with...

    Credential...enough space?

    If you are unable to secure a reservation at Orrisson, they will be able to recommend other accommodations for you. No need for a taxi as they also provide a shuttle from Orrisson and back up the next morning. We had a lovely first night connecting with fellow pilgrims that we continued to...

    14 Days to Go.... Checklist Checkoffs For the Day

    Another list maker - YES! My countdown is shorter... I leave from British Columbia (just north of you!) on Friday, and begin walking on Monday the 10th from SJdPP. As a Camino newbie I have a slight amount of trepidation, mostly around the choices in my backpack. I have it down to 12 pounds...

    Luggage storage in Paris?

    Can you tell me the name of the hotel you used, and if it is near Gare Montparnasse? We will be staying one night outbound but want to return for four or five days after our journey. Thanks!
