    September 2022

    I was due to fly to Spain in May 2020, using points to upgrade my flights with Korean Air to business class both ways. That, of course, never happened. I have just heard from Korean, and they have extended the time in which I can use my points, but as yet they have not released any schedule for...

    September 2022

    I will fly out of Australia on August 30th, and will wander around the Invierno, San Salvador and Primitivo caminos for a month or more, eventually coming home on October 17th. I have yet to book flights [just a tad too early as yet] - who are you flying with? I have booked my accommodation in...

    Restart

    Arn, I joined the forum in 2009, in the days when if there were 20 new posts in a day you thought it was Christmas. I so much enjoyed your posts then, and though we have never met, seeing your name here is like meeting up with an old friend. I have not read the forum much recently, but from now...

    One foot bigger than the other

    I have the same problem of two different sized feet. I have always bought boots to fit the bigger foot, which gave me blisters on the smaller foot, as my foot slid around n the footwear. Lots of walking before I left toughened the smaller foot up, and by the time I got to the actual camino I was...

    CF- May 1st, 2017

    I hope we can catch up along the way. That will beat chatting at a pilgrim meeting in Sydney. My schedule will be decided by my dodgy achilles tendon, which may or may not get me to SdC. My physio and I are working hard to get it right but with only 5 weeks before I leave there is not a lot of...

    Madrid Camino 27 May to 10 June

    I leave Australia in 2 weeks from today, and start walking on May 6th. My boss told me that I would finish my part time job last Friday but now says it might last another week or so. If I keep earning money I might be able to stay in a Parador [not really, I just can't bring myself to do that!]...

    ATM card for Aussies

    I need more advice please. When Alan Kohler comes on the finance report in the ABC news at night he will say that the exchange rate on the Euro is such-and-such. But if you try to get that rate by buying dollars from a bank [or the post office who claim to give you a better deal than the banks]...

    ATM card for Aussies

    Just to get this settled in my mind. Everyone else that allows you to draw money in another currency will charge a comversion fee. The cards that allow you to pre-load different currencies will charge a conversion fee when you use Aussie dollars to purchase those currencies . Citibank does not...

    Camino Frances, are you ready for this Aussie. . . .

    Jenny, were they the tubes of vegemite I left behind, or ones that you took yourself? Sue, my fellow hospitalero from England, was VERY fond of vegemite. Be brave. Life is joyous. Alan

    April 1st or 2nd start...

    I leave in 10 weeks for my 7th trip to Spain in 8 years, and I STILL get excited, every time! As for getting cold, that will happen in April. Some of the mornings may have a light frost on the ground. Perhaps a pair of gloves and a beanie will be good. Be wary of putting too many clothes on...

    Hello I'm new here:)

    Hello again I will be in Orange on Friday for my annual visit to a specialist [just a part of aging, nothing serious]. Would you like to catch up over a coffee in the afternoon sometime? My appointment is for 12.30 so I should be finished by 2 PM! Alan Be brave. Life is joyous.
