    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    The question may be more; would you want to? I bet even more would answer yes. To some like me, it would be a luxury, but not practical. Owning a small business in the USA (website builder) means people are depending upon me and I need be fair to them. The good news is I now have a full time...

    Hot and Cold

    One of the biggest things I ever learned growing up is that "not making a decision" is a decision. At some point you weigh the benefits and drawbacks, make the decision and move forward. I'm not sure if that sounds callous. It is not meant to. For some, living with a decision is easier than...

    What souvenir(s) did you bring back from the Camino?

    I kind of prebought my souvenirs here and one other forum, like the refrigerator magnet and bandanna with a Camino map on it. Does that count? Usually, the only thing I get on a trip is maybe a photo album if it ties in with where I am at. Yep, Our house still uses photo albums after each trip.

    golfers vasculitis

    I apologize. I did a search for this term, but must have had the box checked on "this forum only" I typically do some checking first. I do appreciate you pointing it out though as this is a bit of a concern and I certainly want to avoid it. Thanks.

    golfers vasculitis

    During my 21 mile hike, I developed golfers vasculitis on my right ankle. It hurt almost as much as the blisters and was along the edge of the foot as well. I was wearing two pairs of wool socks and can only figure I over heated my leg and caused the rash. I plan to test out coolmax sock...

    Another blister thread

    Hi Liz, I think you are right. In fact, I just ordered a set last night. It just concerns me that I thought I was doing everything right. I am thrilled how fast things healed. I will be doing a 5k today just to see how happy the feet are. BUT, prevention would be so much better. I think I would...

    Another blister thread

    I completed a 21 mile (33.8k) pilgrimage this weekend in the USA. I carried a pack weight of 3.5k (out of spirit for my Camino. It was pretty empty). The temperatures were 6-22C that day. It was a perfect walking day. 80% of the path was on pavement Blister Prevention – Not all things work the...

    Pilgrimage in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

    I do not know how many opportunities there are for this in the USA. Compared to Spain, we are pretty young. Like many looking forward to their first Camino, this just makes it more exciting. I am planning to participate in a one day pilgrimage next Saturday at http://walktomary.com/ They do...

    How do people find time to do the Camino

    Actually, I thought about that as well. I might have someone at home missing me a bit to much though as I am going solo.. ;) I have the blessing to go though and tickets bought. This means not if, but how. The how continues to get better though as well.

    How do people find time to do the Camino

    I have never taken off two weeks. I have gone to Canada for a week at a time without Internet. But never two weeks. There is a big difference when you are not part of an organization that is either big enough to let you go or replace you while gone. I am the organization and team manager and...

    How do people find time to do the Camino

    @Chacharm good question, I just edited the post. If all goes well, I will only have to reply to the most desperate emails if everything is in place and give direction versus actually working. My goal is to maximize disconnection as much as possible, but without anyone being harmed in the...

    How do people find time to do the Camino

    I often wonder, “How do people find time to do the Camino?” Given part of my job is being the tech support guy to my customers, it is even more dramatic. Can you imagine not being able to log into your account and receiving and auto reply that someone will get back to you in a month? This does...

    The movie, "Wild"

    I missed the movie, but read the book. It was a story. Inspiration to walk, I do not think so.

    Doing or giving up something for lent

    Daily rosary with a slow transition into Spanish with it as a prep for my Camino and better understanding of language as well as spiritual growth. Some of you may have seen my YouTube trading video I posted earlier. Lent is not just about giving up, nor is it a totally Catholic thing. It is...

    A Different Angle on the 'Weight Debate'

    So, in contrast then, that means the extra 10 pounds I put on over winter doesn't mean I get an extra pound for my 10 percent of weight to carry? o_O Guess I will have to get it back off then. Just a bit of humor. ..
