    Leaving dog home question

    Yes, vwzoo, I have experience. I walked the Camino Frances Sept/Oct 2019. I have 2 dogs. I was gone for 5 weeks. A friend of mine in my local hiking group suggested a website, Trustedhousesitters.com. You pay about $99 for the year to belong. You do not pay them a dime for watching your...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    Leaving tomorrow night for Madrid! Less than 24 hours away! So I fly into Madrid, then fly a few hours later to Pamplona. Stay over in Pamplona, wake up and head for SJPDP. That should be the 17th. I will officially start the Camino on September 18th. I know I am going to have the...

    Pensions, Hotels - Solo Woman

    So BalmainGirl, I am wondering if it all worked out? I will likely be staying at hotels along the way as I feel I need a private room due to sleeping issues also. I never thought it would be a problem meeting people, but your post has now put the idea in my head! I am leaving one week from...

    Mine too @MoniRose. Saw it 4 or 5 years ago when my friends told me about it while they were on the Camino. Leaving in less than 3 weeks for my first Camino!!

    Quick “The Way” synopses (and tribute)

    I am donating platelets at the Red Cross tomorrow! I donate frequently, and yes, they have many movies, and even relatively new ones. BUt they don't have The Way, or else I would watch that. But that is okay, I have watched it 3 times this past year.....

    My First Camino

    I really enjoyed reading your post. You are an excellent writer. I think your reasoning for doing the Camino and the date you chose to embark, is so meaningful, and all the more reason this journey seems right for you. Our timing is off - I leave from St. Jean on September 18th and hope to be...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    Hey @ LesBrass and @Kathar1na and everyone who was on tenterhooks, as soon as I read @LesBrass' post, I checked my email. Nada. But the email was waiting in my Spam for the last 2 hours. I am in!!!!! I have a bed in Orisson! THank you all so very much. I could not have accomplished this...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    From your mouth to God's ears, Kathar1na! Your post and so many of the other posts I have received in response to my question give me the feeling that I already have a Camino "family" and I haven't even left CA yet! Thank you so much for your concern, thoughts, and info regarding Kayola and...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    Thank you. I have never heard of a gite before. If it is close by, then I will book there. It beats the pressure of walking the whole way to Roncesvalles the first day. Yes, I said I was "hoping" that the thank you was an indication they werent full, but I realize I might be too hopeful. Now...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    Thank you so much @LesBrass. I went back on the website because I wasn't wise enough yesterday to take a picture of the order. So I made another reservation, and I am pretty sure it is the same response as I received yesterday. Hopefully they won't penalize me for making 2 reservations, and...

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    Thank you so much for providing me 2 alternatives! I hope I don't need them and that I hear back from Orisson, but if I don't hear back in a few days, I will look into your suggestions. I really, really appreciate your input and for giving me hope just in case.

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    This forum is amazing! I don't know what I would do without all of you and your wisdom/experience, etc. So I finally found the booking section on the website and completed that about 2 hours ago. I have not received a payment link, so I do not know if I booked it correctly but it sure seemed...
