    HBS60 replied to the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta.
    This reminds me of a nasty bug I got while visiting Spain back in 2009 with a friend. After 3 great days in Barcelona, we went to Malaga via train, then visited Seville, had breakfast at a cute little sidewalk cafe, and within 2 hours I was...

    HBS60 replied to the thread vodafone sim purchase.
    Out of curiosity, why do you prefer a physical SIM card over an eSIM? I’m asking because I’m considering upgrading an older iPhone for a newer one with eSIM capabilities, seems so much more convenient than finding a store to buy a SIM and getting...

    OMG! This is almost on my doorstep! (a 2.5 hr drive). This might be a perfect “rehearsal” before I head to Spain for my August Camino! Walking in the FL heat in July shouldn’t be that different than walking across Spain in August!

    I have some slight similarities with you. I haven’t done my Camino yet, but it is important to me where and when I start, and to finish it, so there are some similarities. It is important to me to start on August 11 because of a grief...

    I think one of the challenges with all of the "there are too many pilgrims on the Camino" posts is that what constitutes "too many pilgrims" for one person may be "not enough pilgrims" for another. We all have different preferences. In general...

    Thanks. I think we both missed what each other was trying to say, but that’s cool. Internet communications can be tricky, but it’s important to recognize the good intentions all around. Thanks!
  • HBS60
    Thanks for your feedback and loving intentions. I don’t have as much fear as I think you think I have, sometimes things get amplified on the internet. Besides, what’s wrong with fear? Nothing. Not a thing. It’s a natural emotion that is designed...

    HBS60 replied to the thread The Camino will provide?.
    I get where you are coming from, in many respects I feel the same way. Being that we are all different, the way we approach the Camino varies quite a bit. I tend to be more of a planner, trying to inform myself since I’m a newbie, a bit older, as...
