    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    You are a better person by not knowing what a Kardashian is !!

    Feeling unprepared & anxious - arrive SJPDP 5 June

    I am someone who always got blisters from hiking. On the camino, I made it a habit to stop every hour or two, take off my shoes and socks, and rub my feet. That allowed them to air out and stay dry. I GOT NO BLISTERS THE WHOLE WAY! I also picked up some Ecco hiking sandals which I alternated...

    Wine: Your favorite, and where you drank it

    Ahhhh....Calimocho. Must add that to my list of things to try on my next camino ;-)

    Wine: Your favorite, and where you drank it

    OMG! Paul said he drank NO WINE between Pamplona and Santiago. What a loss! That's like doing the Camino and not sleeping in an albergue. (Nothing personal, my opinion) My favorite was the red one I drank every day with dinner.....and beyond. I attribute the healing properties of those grapes...

    Halfway SJPDP & Roncesvalles

    Great advise Dutch. I too was unsure as what to do after 3 days travel to get to SJPDP. Be there next week, now knowing what I want to do. Thx

    Wine: Your favorite, and where you drank it

    When you spill one, I hope I'm there to catch it. When you give one away, I'll take that one too ! :-)

    Options for not walking through industrial areas

    Fiona99, you went from SJPDP to Santiago in 35 days? Recently?

    Apprehensive now with a tinge of "uh oh"

    I have read many posts and threads in this forum. They have all been helpful but this one really hit home at this time. Jitters come from the fear of the unknown. That is why we ask so many questions. As in life, we like to be prepared but 'stuff' happens. Toilets overflow, you crash your car...

    I need to cut three days

    I like what I have heard. Thanks for your comments.

    I need to cut three days

    This is a question for the veterans. I do my first camino this September. I want to start from SJPDP. Due to time constraints, I may need to cut three days. By cut I mean catch a taxi or bus to speed things along. If you were redoing the Camino Frances, which three days would you cut?

    Books

    My favorite so far is, "In Movement There Is Peace" by Elaine Orabona Foster & Joseph Wilbred Foster III. It is an excellent read and very well written. This couple walked the camino and related their experiences on the trail to their experiences in life. They each write a portion of each...

    Why the Camino scares me...

    If you are not a fan of Miley Cyrus, there is also a version of THE CLIMB on iTunes by HelenaMaria that is nice.

    3 days is this normal

    Normal or not, you are not alone. My problem is that I planned my Camino almost a year in advance, for next May. That's too much time to worry. Am I training right or enough, what should I pack, do I have the right shoes, are they broken in enough, Norte or Frances, ETC !!! My hiking experience...

    looking for partner for the first few days from SJPP mid May 2015

    I have not yet committed to a specific time (or Camino for that mater). I want to avoid the crowds and rain. Still researching both.

    looking for partner for the first few days from SJPP mid May 2015

    Angie, I plan on doing my first camino next year but I do have experience hiking. My suggestion is to find someone there who matches your style of hiking. Talk to people as you go to start off. Watch their pace. You don't want to pair up with someone who is much faster/slower than you. Hiking...
