    People with Altra Lone Peak shoes

    I love my Altra Lone Peak's. I do remember noticing the difference at first but, honestly, I don't think it lasted too long for me. I believe they are designed to resemble what it is like to walk bare footed, although I may have just made that up. lol I don't really notice it anymore and...

    Sleeping with valuables

    I have read various posts about carrying your valuables, such as money, passports, etc, while walking, showering, etc but what do people do while asleep? Do you continue to wear them? Are they safe in your pack overnight? Just trying to figure out the logistics of it all as it relates to...

    sock cleaning

    Hello all, I have read suggestions to coat your feet in Vaseline or something like that in an effort to prevent blisters. My question isn't about the effectiveness of that as I have also read many differing opinions. My question is for those who do use the Vaseline method, how difficult is it...

    Rome2Rio assistance

    Yes, I realize I can just do two separate searches but I was just hoping there was a way to do a combined search in order to get a better idea of what I would be looking at in terms of possible flight options. Thanks!

    Rome2Rio assistance

    Hello, I am hoping some of you seasoned pilgrims can help me out with something. Is there a way to search Rome2Rio for a round trip when you will be departing from a different place than you arrived. What I mean is I will be flying from the US to Paris and then make my way to SJPdP. At the...

    Comfy shoes/boots and laces that don't come undone

    Hi Jeff, would you happen to have a link for where to purchase shock cords like that? I have tried some in the past but mine were a bit different. I am curious about the ones you have pictured. Thanks!

    Alternative POV

    It is a question I have asked myself many times as I prepare for my first Camino. I have had several conversations with my wife regarding this. She has no interest in walking herself and she knows how important it is to me. She has been witness to the pull that the Camino has had on me for...

    half board?

    You are correct. I was looking at gites in SJPDP. I appreciate the info everyone has provided me. I always learn something when I come to the forum.

    half board?

    Thank you. I knew someone smarter than me would be able to answer this easily. I appreciate it!

    half board?

    I realize this is probably a dumb question but I am new to all of this so forgive me. I have noticed prices for some albergues make mention of half board. What exactly does that mean? Thanks in advance for what is probably a very simple answer.

    Hoping for September 2023 Camino Frances

    If everything goes as planned, I will be leaving SJPP at the beginning of September 2023 and walking the Frances route. I know it is a little far out at this point of the calendar but I will be spending the next 15 months or so preparing. Hopefully during that time I will have the opportunity...

    Very early excitement

    Thank you so much. I love how you reframed what I viewed as a major disappointment into the realization that I have just been on a 4 year Camino. I wish I would have thought of that back then but I really appreciate hearing it now!

    Very early excitement

    Chuck, thank you so much for your words. You are so right! It is often so difficult to notice the blessings among he disappointments but they are there if I open my eyes to them.

    Very early excitement

    I am also hoping for Sept/Oct 2023. It is funny my brother recently asked me if I would be interested in hiking the Appalachian Trail with him. I have to say that that has never appealed to me but I am in awe of people who have completed it. So, we came with an alternative plan to hike all...
