    Father/Daughter on our first Camino Feb 2019

    Well, another setback. My wife had herself a fall in April and messed up her arm pretty badly. She's recovering very well after surgery and PT, but my daughter has been an angel taking care of her mom and I've been keeping busy taking over a lot of the household to-dos as she's been mending...

    Father/Daughter on our first Camino Feb 2019

    Another delay!!! My daughter just got a new job, and I'm interviewing from one myself. The trip is postponed again, hopefully to June. The good news is that we haven't bought much gear yet, particularly clothes as I'm sure the June weather is very different from March/April! Still...

    Hi Gumba, That’s exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks! Taking gloves never occurred to me. Great advice. Having said that, we’re contemplating the Camino Norte to the Primitivo instead of the CF. Same time of year so from what I’ve read so far, the same precautions should...

    Change of plans! Due to school schedules at my daughter's college, We're shifting our trek to end of March thru April. Better weather than Feb/Mar, si? I think the Napoleon route may still be closed when we get there, but we're good with the Valcarlos hike, especially for the 1st couple of...

    Planning a Camino with my 13 year old daughter June/July 2019

    My daughter and I are doing the same thing in February. She'll be 21 and taking the spring semester off. I'm glad your daughter is looking forward to it, as is my daughter. It's a wonderful opportunity and an experience I'm sure you'll both treasure the rest of your lives. Buen Camino Jerry

    Yes, I've heard about the infamous Spanish mud :). Makes a good case for walking poles!

    You folks are awesome! Thanks for the quick info! We've already gotten fitted for shoes at REI and are going to get the rest of our gear (pack, clothes, etc) during the Christmas break. Will start some training in December as well to get used to the shoes and pack. Jerry

    Father/Daughter on our first Camino Feb 2019

    Hola Everyone, Part of my family (Pelayo) originally came from Santiago de Compostela, and in doing some genealogical research I came across the Camino and decided to make my own pilgrimage. I told my daughter about my plans and she wants to do it too! She's taking the spring semester off...
