Young & Determined
I disagree with this post. First, as Laurie and others said above, it is not realistic to set your parents up with the expectation that you will constantly be in touch. You need to work out with them how often is often enough to set their minds at ease but also to allow you to be fully engaged...- wawpdx

Reflections of a secular "pilgrim"
Robertc, Your post came in while I was writing mine. I think that the experiences in my post are the religious attitude you will encounter in Spain, rather than what you are fearing. But also, listen to nell.- wawpdx

Reflections of a secular "pilgrim"
I was alone, around the corner at the computer in the cafe/bar in Tosantos trying to finish an e-mail home before it was time for supper in the albergue. As their card game continued, a small, mostly male, boisterous group of Spanish teenagers started to get a bit noisier. Suddenly one noticed...- wawpdx

Newbies from Northern California
If you leave SF on the 26th, it will be the 27th when you arrive in Madrid. Personally, I would leave directly for Pamplona and also add an additional transition day to your plan. Getting over jet lag is so variable from person to person and trip to trip. Being in Pamplona will give the two of...- wawpdx

Potential future pilgrim
I had much the same experience. No one I knew had gone on nor even heard of the Camino. I first heard of it, vaguely, in 2004 when I learned that an acquaintance in Maine had gone on “some pilgrimage” “possibly in Spain”. Two weeks later, looking through the travel section in an Oregon...- wawpdx

Who will I meet out there? May, June 2011, Nervous.
Corina, The funny thing is that all of those things will happen to you, in one form or another, and you will be okay. In fact, they will become some of the stories you tell when you return home. For me, the gift of the Camino was a sense of trust rather than worry. "Stages" are just one...- wawpdx
