    Not by my design

    Took off out of Chicago 7:30pm 4-24; arrived by 8pm 4-25, in SJPDP. Everything went smoothly, but not exactly to my plans - God provided over and over and it’s better than I could’ve planned. Going to register now …after COFFEE! Buen Camino to all and thanks to this community to give me info...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling to continue

    Thank you for your honesty - I will embark in SJPDP on 4-26…I’m taking pictures of my US Midwest yard this morning & am filed with wonder and excitement. Your post touched my heart and tells me I need to prepare for this too. Thank you for sharing - i think for me I’ll need to keep in mind why...

    French Way - Sleeping bag or Liner?

    And the questions keep coming... PILLOWs! to bring or not bring? Wadding up my clothes is what I was planning - but in the interest of a good nights rest... what say you? If you can't tell, I am highly interested in keeping my pack as light as possible (have some back limitations I need to be...

    French Way - Sleeping bag or Liner?

    uh oh....I didn't know there was a diff btwn Albergues and Hostals (thanks for spelling correct!)...I am planning on Albergues...i think...what is the difference - I'm fluent in 2 languages, but Spanish or French are not one of them {:-/

    French Way - Sleeping bag or Liner?

    I'll be starting my Camino 4/25 - I'm trying to decide on my sleeping bag sit. I plan on 85% Hostel sleeps and wonder if a Thermolite Reactor Extreme LINER (+15degrees to normal sleeping bag) is adequate for this time of year? Some have said a silk liner is adequate, but I'm not sure they were...

    Doing this on my own - CDG to where?

    Thank you! I will consider - I'm pretty intent on getting to SJPP on the 25th/same day I land in Paris (been there, done that, got the t-$hirt - I don't mean to sound flip, I loved Paris when I did it in the 80's, but budget is dedicated to my spiritual walk this time). I may spend two nights...

    Doing this on my own - CDG to where?

    Wow - this "blog" (uncertain that is the proper tech term as I've never participated in one...) is a God-send. Here's my next question: what amount of Euro should I carry? I am presuming establishments take VISA and I've checked in with my credit card company to ensure no extra fees. What is...

    Doing this on my own - CDG to where?

    Thank you! I am catching a train out of Biarritz at 18:19 to Bayonne (18:31) & have a 5 minute interchange to catch a train to SJPP (19:43). I haven't booked an Albergues in SJPP, but need to. Arriving at 7:43pm is kind of late, I know I will be road weary (don't laugh, I know I haven't at...

    Doing this on my own - CDG to where?

    Greetings! Flying in from Chicago 4/25; ORY to BIQ (17:40)...how do you best get to St. Jean & can I do it the same day, or should I book a hotel in Biarritz?
