    Last minute jitters

    Of course you feel jitters and feel vunerable. You are taking a risk setting out on this journey, where we all know we can't really prepare for everything, as much as we try. I think the definition of courage is taking a risk in spite of feeling those jitters and vulnerability. You Kerstin...

    internet access

    Yes, I understood I could use my phone as is but that that would be considerably more expensive than getting the SIM card over there. With the new SIM card it is my understanding too that we will have new spanish phone numbers. We need to be sure that we keep track of our American SIM card and...

    internet access

    Hey Noah, Once you have Sprint's ok to unlock the phone, they will send you a code and set of instructions on how to unlock the phone. On my phone (t-mobile) the process is completed after the new SIM card is placed in the phone. It's a matter of keying in a set of numbers specific to your...

    Planning timeline

    Falcon's advice is excellent. I'm just adding a few additional ieas. You can also start researching and slowly picking up your gear. Most people spend a lot of time trying to decide which boots, which back pack and whether to take a sleeping bag or sleep sack. You can also make sure that you...

    movie "Radio Buen Camino" - A R R I V A L

    Luggage Storage

    Hi Diane, There are a number of good threads about shipping luggage ahead. You probably don't know that we can search old threads on the forum. It's like doing a regular Google search. Up in the right hand corner area there's a little spyglass/magnifing lense. Try typing "luggage shipping...

    Luggage Storage

    Hi Diane, I am confused and not sure where you're flying into, in the first place. If you are initially flying into Madrid and want to store your suitcase in Santiago, you can use Ivar's luggage storage. You could just mail the suitcase from Madrid to Santiago. If you're flying into Paris...

    Is coconut water available along the Camino Frances Trail ?

    Whoa! A question was asked by wrjohnsonjr. lagalag is on the Camino right now and has answered that he found some in Pamplona. The question has been answered. Let's remember that we're all pilgrims on the same path and comment with kindness and give each other the benefit of the doubt.

    Sending luggage ahead

    You have to mail your parcel to the specific post office, not just the town. See Falcon's post above for the link to the site to find the addresses for the various post offices in the different towns. To find the ones closest to the Camino, you would need to map it.

    Camino with a child buggy or carrier?

    Cinimod, there was a couple who did the Camino in the winter with their baby. They made a series of Youtube videos which you may find interesting.

    Hoping for "The Way" experience

    Mark, you mentioned in your post that you're an introvert, and that tells me that you are more interested in one on one conversations and at a deeper level than perhaps the superficial weather chatter. It also tells me that you're a listener. I imagine that because you want to find a...

    Was Mick Right?........Was Mick Wrong?

    If the Camino provides lessons for perogrinos as they walk, I wonder if this wasn't a lesson being presented, for all of those involved. Maybe there were lessons in compassion, judgement, entitlement, advocacy, kindness, anger, expectations and love. Or then again, perhaps this was just about...
