I just got back from my Camino which we started mid September 2014. No problem at all with beds just be flexable you might not get the Albergue you want but there are others.
Buen Camino
I agree with you Susan, one of the first things I packed was my Swiss Army knife with a corkscrew. I don't leave home without it. I also know that wine on the Camino makes everything better.

I had the same thought regarding supplements, I just stocked up on, energy boost and strength endurance. I don't know where you live the brand I have been taking is Hammer. Good quality product that are designed for sports minded people. I would also suggest a sports drink of some kind to...
My wife is not high maintenance like some this is one indulgence she has and if I can help her I will. The forum helped she has decided to remove her fake nails and brave it.
Thank you to all who posted
I know this post will be hard to believe for us men but my wife for many years, ask me to post this questions to I would think ladies only. My wife like I am sure many of you out there has fake nails. My wife goes to the nail salon every two weeks to have something done to her now very expensive...
In 100 years what will future pilgrims look like? What will they be carrying in the way of "smart anything". If one stops and think about the first pilgrim he was most likely without shoes, without a comfortable bed, without albergue to stay in and certainly without a well marked road to...
I have not yet walked the Camino will do so this September. From reading your post the Camino is doing what everyone has posted, the Camino is working on you. Call it what you wish but may God continue to bless you.
Buen Camino
My wife and I are readying ourself for our first Camino. We start 9/14 from SJPP. From reading your post I think you have found the meaning of the Camino. I envy you. I am looking for what you have found, inner self reflection, inner peace, inner satisfaction of just being. Thank you for your...
Your post answer the question that has been on this forum for some time, does one give to people on the Camino looking for a hand out. You my friend if I may call you a friend did so out of the goodness of your heart. No one asked you, you just did. That old man just might have been God, for...
I had the pleasure of spending last summer on the island of Crete. How wonderful! My wife and I want to go back to Greece and someday hopefully live there. We like the island of Kos, small but not to small. We think you Greeks are people with a well kept secret. That is the country you call...
I see that I may have misguided some pilgrims regarding my last post. I am not looking for monetary help but I am looking for spiritual. I am in need of love, hope, guidance and fellowship. So this is why I will be walking the Camino. So as I said earlier from what I have been reading the Camino...
There is a company in the USA that only offers items for traveler's. It is called Travel Smith. I know they are on the web. I have used there underwear for years. The best part is they are almost self drying, very quick. I know they will be going with me plus I also subscribe to commando also...
I am really surprised with all the posting regarding giving to people in need. Giving is a personal choice. Being human and having free will given to us by God is what makes us human. I have been bless so many times that I don't take it for granted. I choose to give and give. I hope I am not...
we are on the same time table. My wife and I also retired and loving every minute of it are departing SJPP on 9/16/2014 and planning on returning to the states on 11/02/2014. as you have pointed out it is our Camino. We will walk to the point that enough is enough stop enjoy the country side...
I don't understand why there is such a fuss about giving or not giving to those who are asking. Does it really matter if the person asking is scamming or not. If he his then he will have the problem when he is in front of God on judgment day, if he is not then when we are standing in front of...
