    Wall map of Camino Frances

    Great! Thank you! I just sent David an email to check on getting a wall map before I leave in 19 days for St. Jean Pied de Port. ¡Buen Camino! ..

    The Corazón Puro now open!!!!!

    " I don't care what you think about us, about Europe, about Spain, I don't care how you arrange your things in your country, but what you have done it is more than enough. Please stop bothering us with your messages. I can not imagine that any other place on the Camino or anywhere on the Earth...

    Passport Stamp Requirement

    Good idea Koilife. I think I will take two [2] American PP and do as you did. Again, good idea and thanks again.

    Passport Stamp Requirement

    Thanks again Koilife. I still wish the pages for stamps were all on one side [ American PP ] so it would be easier to frame. They will be a "treasure" to keep for many years.

    Passport Stamp Requirement

    Thanks Koilife. 72 stamps? Wow. I do REALLY like your idea of all stamps on one side. The one you can order through Ivar in Santiago does have all the pages on one side for stamps but still doesn't have enough room for all the stamps we need [In my opinion only ]. I am a slow walker so it will...

    Passport Stamp Requirement

    Hi Janet. You wouldn't happen to how many [quantitatively] are a "far greater number"? It would be nice to get all stamps into one credencial instead of two. Thanks!

    Wow Bill. July is way too hot for this old man [ turn 63 next week while I am riding my Harley on the Tail of The Dragon from Deals Gap, NC. ] which is why I chose mid-September to early November to do my Camino. Yes, please. Let me know how your trip goes. I will be eager to hear back from...

    Hi Bill. I am a newbie but I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4 and planning to turn off my cell phone except for once a day or every other day texting to a few that will update my progress to others. This will be using my cell phone battery for only a few minutes a day. Someone suggested to turn off...

    Thanks Pennie. I will let you know if I hear back on the subjects of keeping / losing downloads. ¡Buen Camino! Noah .

    internet access

    Thank you Pennie! I stopped by my local Sprint store and the young man there is astonishingly bright and helpful. I've been consulting with him since I initially purchased the phone [ see if this jibes with your experience ]. He, at first, said I could just go over and start using it. I asked...

    Bikergal, what brand of Smart Phone did you take with you? Six [6] months ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 4 [ for 0.96 cents from Sam's Club ] and checked with Sprint. Sounds like if I do nothing, I can use the phone but it will be rather pricey. If I get it "unlocked" [ which I will ] I...

    Seeking advice: walk alone whole route or with sister for only 10 days

    Hi indyrem. I am terribly sorry for your loss. And, thank you for sharing your experience on the Camino. I am leaving SJPP 13 SEP 14 and have a reservation at Orisson Refuge [ before I realized how close it is, but it's been said that it is a great place to stay ]. I am walking Camino Frances...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    ~ Thank you all for your sage advice. I certainly advocate the adage "less is more", especially when it comes to carrying weight 800 km for 5 weeks! I just wish the features that I REALLY like in the larger packs came in the smaller packs. It would save me from the extra and possibly...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    Many good ideas and suggestions. Thank you! In my research I found that 22 lbs was the absolute maximum for most folks, so that's how I came up with this number. My preference might be to carry a larger pack such as the one I purchased [ REI has an incredible return policy ] to handle bulky...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    Thank you Santiago_67, I will give it a peek to see how I would like the Vagabond Tour 40. Okay. I peeked and I REALLY like the Orange and Red one. It looks nice and compact as well as easy to haul and you are right about how it will work on an airplane. However, its missing a few features that...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    You must be a very light packer indeed, Zippety!! No offense, but I am not fond of the shape or those graphics on the side of the Talon 45. I almost bought a Osprey Xenith 88 !! Now that is HUGE and way too much for me. You could put a dwarf inside that thing. So, the 60 didn't seem as large...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    I hear that many folks are using their shampoo as their "soap" to cut down on weight. I think the flip-flops might cut down on fungus acquired from so many people using showers that may have athlete's foot. If you are purchasing the antimicrobial under cloths and shirts, you may only need one...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    I keep trying to find out if I am getting the right size [ if there IS such a thing! ] backpack for the 800km trip on the Camino. I just ordered through REI an Osprey Aether 60 and am wondering if a 60 liter pack will suffice for the 5 to 6 weeks I will be hiking? Any thoughts?
