Mmotero99 replied to the thread Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?.Why do you need a multitool or pocket knife? I used to always travel with a Swiss Army knife, and even thought about purchasing one when I arrived in Spain for my first Camino. The Camino is pretty darn civilized. If you want meat or cheese...

Mmotero99 replied to the thread Receiving a Compostella in memory of someone who has passed away.Now that I think of it, I believe it is actually "In vicare pro name of deceased"

Mmotero99 replied to the thread Receiving a Compostella in memory of someone who has passed away.Did that last spring for my late wife. In a previous posting last year it was advised that you have patience as some of the workers at the Compostela office might not be aware of it.
