    Starting from St Jean Pied de Port September 15th

    You're journey has almost begun! I started in St Jean last year around this time; it's a beautiful time of year to walk. It sounds like you're preparing well, so don't be too nervous!

    hallo and diet

    I often carried around uncooked rice and beans. High calorie content, relatively cheap, and not heavy considering how long it lasts. Even smaller supermarkets seem to carry these basic staples.

    Hawaiian Pilgrim - Newbie

    Aloha Elaine! You might want to check out a Eurail pass to avoid train hassles: http://www.ricksteves.com/rail/ There are a ton of different pass options depending on your needs - including flexible dates and multinational travel. My girlfriend and I would take a day off from the albergues...

    First timer to complete the walk

    That's a lot of great reasons to walk the Camino! And it sounds like you're starting to prepare well in advance. You mentioned a tent - are you planning on camping instead of staying in hostels?

    Drinking Water

    I had a small case of water or food poisoning a bit before Sahagun, but like others have said, there's no way to tell if it was food or water. Even with the sickness, I still felt comfortable drinking water from the many, many fountains along the Frances route. You can make sure you don't cause...

    GREETINGS FROM LONG ISLAND,NY.

    It would probably be a more difficult task to avoid making any friends on the Camino - it's just so easy! September is a great time to go; I went in September last year - perfect weather/temperatures 95% of the time. Have fun and buen Camino!

    The Camino France walk

    If you're breaking up the sections of the walk like that it might be helpful to check out Eurail passes: http://www.seat61.com/Railpass.htm. They can be cheaper than normal rail travel, but the advantage lies in the flexible dates, number of trips, or whatever other variables you are presented...

    Lost Newbie on the forum

    Starting in Sarria will give you about 115 km left to Santiago, which can easily be done in a week. I'd recommend Sarria to Portomarin (beautiful, white, odd town on a river), Portomarin to Palas de Rei, Palas de Rei to Ribadiso (cool, rustic albergue), Ribadiso to Rua, and Rua to Santiago...

    Hello from Seattle

    Thanks David! I'm a native of British Columbia myself (Vancouver). I think I met the same number of people on the Camino from British Columbia as I did from the entire U.S. So many canucks!

    Hello from Seattle

    Hey everyone! I'm a first timer on the forums, but I walked the Camino in Sept/Oct of 2009. I miss the pilgrimage - especially the people - so much I decided to spend some time on the forums helping out and reading about people's adventures. I also started a blog to promote the Camino and give...
