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

    I voted for number 4. Now that the internet and smart phones are here there is no going back for me. Aside from using my phone to keeping in touch with friends and family, these are a few of the other reasons I need my phone: Having a phone lets me make room reservations easily when I go...

    What % quit their Camino ?

    I have no idea about the number who quit. But I can reply as someone currently on the Camino who wants to quit. I am half way finished with the Via de la Plata and the only thing keeping me from quitting is the embarrassment of having to tell everyone that I quit, and also cause I want to lose...

    Can't receive a package from abroad as a tourist?

    About a week before I arrived in Salamanca I asked my mom in the US to send a few things I couldn't find in Spain to the hotel I would be staying at. Instead of the package, I get a letter from the post office telling me my package is in customs with instructions on how to get it. Go online, do...

    Post office box sizes

    Do the post offices in Spain sell boxes? I would assume so. Does anyone know the dimensions of the boxes they sell? I'm not having any luck finding this info on the English part of their website.

    What to do with my computer?

    I know half of you just answered "Leave it at home" after seeing the title of this thread. I don't need my computer on the camino, but I will continue traveling after the camino for several months and I will need my computer then. Any suggestions about what to do with it while on the camino...

    "You talk too much about the Camino"

    Sadly, I have been learning this too over the past few years. I'm living abroad now, and once went back to the US to visit after being away for two years. My closest friend had almost no interest in hearing anything about it. Most of my old friends are like that. So, as difficult as it is, I...

    I just love my life

    I spent most of my 20s wishing I was dead. Now life is good. Who knows if it will stay this way, but when I was younger I never would have guessed my outlook would change so much.

    Money

    This sounds like good advice.

    Get Off This Forum - Haven't you got anything better to do ?

    I haven't walked it yet. I might hate it. Who knows? I'm excited to go, but I try not to have any expectations about how it will be.

    Order a passport or get it in Spain?

    Thank you. I will have time in Sevilla, so I think I will get it there. Do you know how many stamps a credencial can hold?

    Well, at least till I finish my camino. After that we'll see how it goes.

    Order a passport or get it in Spain?

    I read that some people get their pilgrim's passport when they arrive in Spain, and I also see that it can be ordered and sent to your home before you leave. Are they both the exact same passport? Is there any reason to do it one way rather than the other? I'll be starting my camino in...

    With about 3 1/2 months till I go to Spain I'm excited and I have started spending more time here looking for advice or interesting things to read.
