I don't know what came over me there I was watching the television with my lap top where it should be on my lap when suddenly I realised I had booked flights and accommodation and My wife, God help her, and I are off over those blasted Pyrenees once again, we will need a pair of knees if this goes on much longer. Is there somewhere I can go to get rid of this affliction, no addiction. I can't face any more white asparagus!
Have no fear, just have a few glasses of vino tinto and call me in the morning! Congratulations. Feliz Navidad y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
The best way to go: I always do it like that: Booking, with no refund option, is the best way to secure you HAVE to go. Well done!I don't know what came over me there I was watching the television with my lap top where it should be on my lap when suddenly I realised I had booked flights and accommodation and My wife, God help her, and I are off over those blasted Pyrenees once again, we will need a pair of knees if this goes on much longer.
You are already here... But as I wrote somewhere else: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...Is there somewhere I can go to get rid of this affliction, no addiction. I can't face any more white asparagus!
hmmm...that means extended?You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
I love Kiwi (fruit) and I think that you are right, but I pose the question, Do most addictions not require you to love them 'unreasonably'Maybe it’s time to face the facts - you don’t actually want help!!
Enjoy.
My name is Alex, and I am a Caminoholic...

I forgot to say: I never book a return ticket: I did twice in the past, and both times had to order new ones because of change of plans/circumstances.The best way to go: I always do it like that: Booking, with no refund option, is the best way to secure you HAVE to go. Well done!
NA NA NAN NA I live in Ireland you just about get coffee on the plane and you are thereI forgot to say: I never book a return ticket: I did twice in the past, and both times had to order new ones because of change of plans/circumstances.
Easy for me as I live in Norway, only 3-4 hours from Spain, with access to cheap flights, but my airline has become one of the world's largest low-fare companies, so maybe there is hope for You too?

Then I assume cheap (in every sense: tried them once: not again...NA NA NAN NA I live in Ireland you just about get coffee on the plane and you are there
I can honestly say (trust me I am an Anglican Priest) that I have never been let down by said airline.Then I assume cheap (in every sense: tried them once: not again...) Ryanair flights. But for those overseas and other parts of Europe...
Surely they 'let you down' .... on the tarmac!I can honestly say (trust me I am an Anglican Priest) that I have never been let down by said airline.
Put several large heavy rocks in your backpack and do not take any water to save weight on this trip.I don't know what came over me there I was watching the television with my lap top where it should be on my lap when suddenly I realised I had booked flights and accommodation and My wife, God help her, and I are off over those blasted Pyrenees once again, we will need a pair of knees if this goes on much longer.

I hate you both
Coming from the west coast of the US, and from a small city to boot, it takes me
f o r e v e r to get to Spain!
Well, yes, but we cannot stay for more than 3 months at a time before the Schengen visa turns us into persona non grata pumpkins. So if one has other commitments in Europe, that means a shorter (or no) Camino.AND, by being so far away from Spain, it just makes more sense to go for long periods of time vs short little hops! More Spain for more time!
Yup. I'm with @trecile in the envy camp.I hate you both

And that's not even considering the huge difference in cost of getting there.
Yup. I'm with @trecile in the envy camp.
You are right NV I come from N Irelandwhere because Iam British soon I can be Non European if I want and because I live on the island of Ireland I can be European if I want white asparagus belong in Europe (at this point I am British). After two weeks of white asparagus I can still remember the Spanish bacon eggs and chips (fries for our American Brothers and sisters) at this point I am European ( I am also confused)Oh, and the slimy white asparagus from tins?
You Europeans can have it.
As much as you want, for as long as you want.
Not to mention the great joy of seeing how long you can be sitting all cramped up in a small seat by the several hours and hours and hours .......Ah yes, but it means you have all that time to anticipate your walk along the Camino on the way there, and all that time to savour your experiences and memories that you acquired as you walked along the Camino, on your way back, @trecile!
AND, by being so far away from Spain, it just makes more sense to go for long periods of time vs short little hops! More Spain for more time!
Try flying from NZ, takes days.... But at least on this side of the globe it is sunny and we have fresh asparagus.Not to mention the great joy of seeing how long you can be sitting all cramped up in a small seat by the several hours and hours and hours .......

You can ship your white asparagus to me!!!!!!!!!!!I don't know what came over me there I was watching the television with my lap top where it should be on my lap when suddenly I realised I had booked flights and accommodation and My wife, God help her, and I are off over those blasted Pyrenees once again, we will need a pair of knees if this goes on much longer.

You are correct but rather than going the direct route we are going Belfast to Paris easy jet 2 days under the bridges of Paris with me, fast train to Bayonne on to St Jean 7 days later Logrono to Zarragosa 1day to Barcelona 2days easy jet to Belfast nice wee breakI blame Michael O Leary Ryanair boss. God bless him he only charges 25 /30 euros for flights to Biarritz, Santander vigo and you are on Camino in an hour. All ready booked for Pyrenees in April. Norte in June.
Only walked for 80 days on Camino in 2017 or about 1800 km. Must up to 2000 km for 2018. Now must get the turkey
Aaaw, rub it in, will you?You are correct but rather than going the direct route we are going Belfast to Paris easy jet 2 days under the bridges of Paris with me, fast train to Bayonne on to St Jean 7 days later Logrono to Zarragosa 1day to Barcelona 2days easy jet to Belfast nice wee break
Ok then if that is what you want all the flight for two people £120 all inAaaw, rub it in, will you?
Ok then if that is what you want all the flight for two people £120 all in
Thats funny or rather thats strange thats what everyone saysYou are quite terrible!
Have a wonderful 'wee break' and let us know how you get on.
And as well as that its sure is a lot of fun PS have you checked out the weather in IrelandCaminoholism - definitely an addiction, but one that is socially acceptable due to the attributes acquired along the Way, such as, greater faith in fellow man, greater understanding of how we fit into the Universe and how we fit into our lives. Would our World not be a better place if a pilgrimage was a mandatory thing for us at least every 10 years of our lives?
We put a big challenge in front of ourselves, much greater than perhaps we have ever experienced and see that even if the 800 km is too much for our bodies, the experience is still most rewarding, and worth every penny of our travel costs, no matter where we come from.
For me, I found something much more unsettling. I began to feel more at home on the Camino than I do at my own home, the home of my birth. Now, I doubt that I will ever leave Canada permanently but I am considering a, "home in between," in Ireland.

Why should we be the only ones to suffer from this let them all get infected with this disease There is no cure for the camino virusThere should be a sign on the camino just after St. Jean Pied de Port that says "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here".
Love whilst you can!I don't know what came over me there I was watching the television with my lap top where it should be on my lap when suddenly I realised I had booked flights and accommodation and My wife, God help her, and I are off over those blasted Pyrenees once again, we will need a pair of knees if this goes on much longer.

For me, I found something much more unsettling. I began to feel more at home on the Camino than I do at my own home,
Three months is a pretty good amount of time, wha?!
And to stay longer, go to England or Ireland or Scotland or Wales for a lovely cuppa tea, then go back to the Schengen region for three more months! Aha!
I feel more at home, and definitely happier on the Camino.
I know.....
Wishful pie-in-the-sky thinking....
Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy...
There should be a sign "Beware, white asparagus for 750K. Also white bread and yoghurt. Eat at your own risk".There should be a sign on the camino just after St. Jean Pied de Port that says "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here".

Perhaps we will see you then because that is when we goHi Rector
Unfortunately there is no cure, since returning from my Camino ther3 hasn’t been a day that I watched a Camino video or I didn’t dream about my Camino.
All booked in for next May, take care. Cheers Tony
