    Alternative POV

    It is a question I have asked myself many times as I prepare for my first Camino. I have had several conversations with my wife regarding this. She has no interest in walking herself and she knows how important it is to me. She has been witness to the pull that the Camino has had on me for...

    half board?

    You are correct. I was looking at gites in SJPDP. I appreciate the info everyone has provided me. I always learn something when I come to the forum.

    half board?

    Thank you. I knew someone smarter than me would be able to answer this easily. I appreciate it!

    half board?

    I realize this is probably a dumb question but I am new to all of this so forgive me. I have noticed prices for some albergues make mention of half board. What exactly does that mean? Thanks in advance for what is probably a very simple answer.

    Very early excitement

    Thank you so much. I love how you reframed what I viewed as a major disappointment into the realization that I have just been on a 4 year Camino. I wish I would have thought of that back then but I really appreciate hearing it now!

    Chuck, thank you so much for your words. You are so right! It is often so difficult to notice the blessings among he disappointments but they are there if I open my eyes to them.

    Very early excitement

    I am also hoping for Sept/Oct 2023. It is funny my brother recently asked me if I would be interested in hiking the Appalachian Trail with him. I have to say that that has never appealed to me but I am in awe of people who have completed it. So, we came with an alternative plan to hike all...

    Very early excitement

    So, about 4 years ago I was all set to go on my first Camino. I had all of my gear set, money set aside, and had received preliminary approval from work to take the time off. Just prior to purchasing my plane tickets I was told that I could only have two weeks off of work. I know many people...

    First time back on the forum

    I agree. My plan of attack for sometime in the future is to present a new proposal for the full time off but if I am again turned down, I will most likely do what I can in the two weeks I am allotted. But, hopefully that contingency plan won't be needed.

    First time back on the forum

    Thank you all for your comments and advice; I have missed that while I have been away. Just a few words to add some context to my situation. I am the CEO of a small non-profit social services agency serving individuals with disabilities. And although I am the head of the agency everyone has a...

    First time back on the forum

    Hello all, Today is the first time I have been back in several months. I had been planning to walk for the first time in May of this year. I had made preparations, bought equipment, pretty much everything short of buying plan tickets. Oh, and getting permission from my work to take the time...

    Anyone planning to walk the Camino in May 2019

    I hope to find out tomorrow if my leave request from work will be granted. If so, I will begin May 14th from SJPDP. If it isn't granted, I will just be over here in the corner, curled up in the fetal position, weeping.

    Cash on the Camino Frances

    This is probably a dumb question but, oh well. Do you have to have an investment account with Charles Schwab in order to have a checking account with them? Thanks!
