Plenty of snow on the screen when I started reading this thread yesterday. ❄️❄️❄️ Then nothing today until about 3 posts ago. Now "flurries" are starting down ❄️. Fun!
Here in southeast PA, we're expecting ice and sleet on Friday 🥶. I'd gladly take Chicago's blizzard instead. And I would really...
@Kiwigirl I was confirmed to go on the Accessible Camino this year with my niece (in a wheelchair). Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to some personal situations.
However, the organizers Patrick and Justin told us they figure they need a minimum of 5 "pushers" per chair. That was based on...
I'd especially recommend the thread "Fuji's first Camino" by @LavanyaLea , who recently completed 100km, Sarria to Santiago, with her Golden. Lots of practical advice and first-hand experience. 🐶
I just signed up and found it easy to translate to English. I'm looking forward to following you, and getting up to date from your travels in the past. I've also alerted my niece, who uses a chair. She's always on the lookout for people in chairs breaking through the conventions.

One thought on the car rental. Instead of trying to drop it off in SJPP (or anywhere else on France) check into dropping it somewhere in Spain, maybe Pamplona. I think a one-way drop charge in-country would be much less expensive than one to another country. Since there are two of you, one of...
Welcome, @gcbraun . The Camino is a great way to start your year off. Read, read, read, and then ask questions, questions, questions. 😊 Loads of great information here, and plenty of experienced pilgrims waiting to answer your questions.
Welcome to the forum, @Betty E . 😊
The conventional wisdom these days seems to be reserve the first few nights if leaving from either St. Jean or Roncesvilles, then reassess after that, based on crowds (or lack of them), how late or early you want to stop, whether there are people you'd like to...
