[QUOTE="Leah C. O'Leary, post: 320973, member: 47836"] Hi, My name is Leah - from Boston. I'm doing my first pilgrimage leaving Boston on September 27 and returning October 10. I'm doing Sarria to Santiago. My question is whether I'm paying too much for my trip. (also, this is my first email to the blog - thanks for being there!) I've employed CaminoWays travel/pilgrimage program that I found online. I'm 68 and in not-great-physical-shape, so my requirements were an easy route and a single room every night. The arrangements I've contracted with them include: 9 nights hotel with single room, 9 breakfasts, 8 dinners, transport suitcase every day to the next hotel/sleeping accommodation, travel book with instructions. I've made a $200 deposit - $1,300 due the end of the month: Total $1,500 Questions: 1. Any feedback on CaminoWays? My dealings have been very pleasant; they respond to my emails same day or next. 2. Any thoughts about the fees I'm paying? 3. I'm concerned that taking this approach will lessen my interactions with other pilgrims, but CaminoWays assures me that there will be plenty of pilgrims at the places I'll be staying. I can provide more details on the towns and hotels they have me staying. Thanks so much. This trip is very important for me. My thinking is that I don't mind paying a little more to know that there is support along the way to fall back on. From my online reading, I know I can do this trip more inexpensively - but I thought I'd throw the question out to the blog to see if folks have any suggestions/advice. Excuse me, I have to go to the gym to work out. Thanks for any feedback-- Leah [/QUOTE]
