    LIVE from the Camino I just saw Martin Sheen!!!

    I'm in SJPdP RIGHT NOW and I just saw Martin Sheen. I'm 100% sure...he waved at me when he saw me staring inquisitively! Why's he here?? I'm off tomorrow walking. Thanks to everyone on this board for all their help over the last few months!!

    Place to stay in SJPdP - Sept 27

    This is fun. I land in Paris on the redeye on September 26. I leave for SJPdP on the overnight train that night and planned on starting to walk on September 27 to Orisson. So apparently, the contact form on the Orisson site doesn't work. I didn't know this. For the last 3 weeks, I've been...

    Orisson---they want a bank transfer to confirm

    It's not that they didn't acknowledge a payment...they didn't even tell me that there was a payment due up front. I'm learning this from reading this thread. I sent an initial email (using the contact form on their page) telling them the night I'd like to make a reservation and nothing in reply...

    Orisson---they want a bank transfer to confirm

    Hmmm...I sent something (in English) using their Contact form more than a week ago about a late September reservation and I haven't heard a thing. Is this typical? Did it maybe not go through? Thanks!

    Plan for my first few days...

    Wanted opinion from those who've walked before me on whether or not this timeline looks good for my arrival and getting started on my Camino. I arrive at 6:55 am at Charles du Gaulle International Airport in Paris on September 26 after an overnight flight from Washington, D.C. My plan for that...

    Bed availability if I am leaving Sep 27 from SJPdP

    P.s. For clarification...I'm asking about along the entire route, not just at SJPdP

    Bed availability if I am leaving Sep 27 from SJPdP

    I'm trying to figure out what I need to pack. I'm leaving from SJPdP on September 27 (or 28). Normally, I wouldn't be too worried about finding a bed given the time of year, but with the closing of some albergues for the season, should I still carry a sleeping pad just in case? Trying to save on...

    The record time was recorded by Forrest Gump. He completed it in 5 days in Nike running shoes. :P

    It just became VERY real: I just bought my plane tickets!

    Re: See you on the Camino I think I need to give you my next-of-kin info in case you find my half bear-eaten body or something on the way then. :) Hope to see you on The Way. Even if you don't see me, I'll leave you little notes on sign posts about which albergues have bed bugs and other...

    It just became VERY real: I just bought my plane tickets!

    That's a very good point. When I do my training walks, I do them relatively quickly and only stopping to refill a water bottle. But I'm doing that on purpose, to build strength and stamina for the real thing. I figured that when training for a marathon, you do spring drills, even though you...

    It just became VERY real: I just bought my plane tickets!

    I've done a few 12 mile hikes and a couple of 15 mile hikes on weekends while walking 5-8 miles/day during the week (all I have time for). The long hikes haven't been the problem. It's the next day where my legs are really tired. Looking at the route I'm taking...

    Availability of water of Camino Frances

    I'm trying to decide what water storage means to bring on the Camino Frances starting in SJPdP. I have a Camelbak for the hydration sleeve in my backpack that's 3 liters. I think this would hold plenty of water. Except that it adds weight and requires repacking more than half my pack when...

    It just became VERY real: I just bought my plane tickets!

    I'll be arriving in Paris on the Lufthansa redeye on September 26. It'll take me a couple of days to get to SJPdP, but then it's off! I'm excited and still a little scared. BUT...it's now very, very real. -Thomas
