    Medical emergencies on the trail

    Hmmm. Definitely not a useful term. North Americans live in the countries that stretch from Canada to Panama, including the island nations of the Caribbean. That’s a lotta territory and a lotta people.

    Medical emergencies on the trail

    I just signed up for Medicare A & B, and am trying to decide between a Medicare Advantage Plan and a Medicare supplemental plan, like plan “G” or “N”.

    Peripheral Neuropathy and walking the Camino

    Hi sugargypsy, Felicidades on your walk in 2019! So, leaving Pamplona, did you take the road from Alto del Perdón to avoid the trail with the rolling rocks, as suggested by Rick of Rick and Peg, or did you just go for it?
