[QUOTE="Anniesantiago, post: 188872, member: 3502"] Hi Bill. Thousands of people make this trip alone every year, and many have never traveled internationally. You can do it alone! What part of the US do you live in? I would suggest you look for tickets to/from Santiago online. I've had good luck getting affordable tickets via CheapOAir's website. Try different days - fares can change hundreds of dollars between days of the week. From Santiago, you can bus to Sarria to start. The buses in Spain are unlike our horrible Greyhounds. They are actually Mercedes buses and are very nice! I know some folks don't care for Brierley's guidebook, but I have used it for years and love it. You don't really need to take it along with you, but for reference now and for planning your trip, it can be interesting. You can get it on [URL="http://www.amazon.com?tag=casaivar02-20"]www.amazon.com[/url] He makes a guidebook and a simple map book. I like both but for a first-timer I'd suggest the regular guidebook. Once you have your ticket, I would make reservations in Santiago for lodging. I love Hospederia San Martin Pinario there. PM me if you'd like the email address - you can book online but it's very expensive unless you ask specifically for "pilgrim rooms." You can pick up your credential in Sarria at the albergue. There will be hundreds of people walking, depending on when you are going so you can just follow the herd and the yellow arrows. Just decide ahead of time how many kilometers per day you want to walk. If you'd like to book private lodging, PM me and I'll give you some ideas. Sometimes it's not that much more expensive to book a private room than it is for two people to stay in the albergue. You can find packing lists upon packing lists here online. You won't need much for that short trek. If you decide you can't do it alone, there are several people on this forum, including myself, who offer group trips. There is a special section where we post our websites. Whatever you decide, Buen Camino! Annie [/QUOTE]
