    Frustrated in Roncesvalles

    I walked in 2014 and I didn't make a reservation at Roncesvilles. I guess things have changed?

    Pokemon stops on the Camino?

    I think the game does let you talk to other people. Last week I sat on the steps of a campground store and talked about the game to about 10 people who were playing, between the ages of 11 and 70. When I leveled up to 5, they all cheered me on and urged me to join their team. I will admit...

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    There may come a time, early on probably, when you question your reason why are you doing this crazy thing, and you may feel like giving up and going home. When/if that happens, give yourself One More Day. Get some rest. Calm down. After a while, you'll be walking like a boss again.

    Service Dog

    Oh, and David? My computer screen thanks you for the coffee I just spewed on it from laughing at the prilgrim dogs picture.

    Service Dog

    Hello Diggs, it sounds as though you and Arthur would be good ambassadors for the service animal community. I, for one, would love to see more four-footed friends along the path. Since Arthur is a service dog, his presence on the camino is really not an option for you, rather like a walking...

    Cramps and...Tonic Water???

    @CaminoDebrorita (I love your name), I am a diabetic, so I have to be careful. So if I try this, I would have to use NutriSweet or some other sweetener. But that's a good idea and I thank you.

    Cramps and...Tonic Water???

    I used to get horrible leg cramps, and tried tonic water. The leg cramps went away (with my anemia), but tonic water is so disgusting to me, I couldn't drink it. I would rather eat a banana. But yes, tonic water works.

    Denise's mother's prayer

    Although Denise may be held in God's arms, we will forever hold her in our hearts. Be at peace, friend, and know you are not forgotten. May Denise's family's grief ease over time, and may happy memories comfort them in the days to come.

    Carry On Luggage Bad News for Flyers

    I must have gotten lucky. I checked my over-sized backpack, which flew to Dublin, London, and from Madrid to Istanbul, and there it was, happy to be reunited with me.

    Pamplona Burger King health warning

    I would rather not spend all that money flying to Spain, walk about 500 miles, hop on a train for several hours, only to degrade myself by eating at Burger King. It's just too sad.

    First two days

    As I have said here before, I am a flatlander. For me, a mountain is 20 feet. As well as I trained, I was not quite prepared for the walk between SJPP and Roncesvalles. So, for me personally, it was worse than I thought it would be. I would strongly suggest one of two options: 1) Stay...

    Congratulations! Now you know you really can do anything you set your mind to.

    Hanging your 'drawers' out for the world to see!

    It's nice to see a thread get to the "bottom" of things.

    Thoughts on an extra day at SJPDP

    I arrived in SJPP at about 7:30 p.m., and I wish (oh, how I wish) I had stayed an extra day. It would have been good to rest, relax and recover from the horrendous trip. I would have like to chat with some of the locals, get a better sense of the history of the town that I did not read online...

    Lazarus Rising

    I love this post. It is so poetic. It reminds me of Windswept's posts; however, he describes his outer journey and you are describing your inner journey. Both are beautiful.

    Travel Conundrums

    Hello Scruffy1! I, too, have flown on Turkish Airlines from Madrid. I am a confirmed fan of the airline. Am I to understand there is a flight on TA from Santiago that goes to Istanbul?
