You know what, @Unweekends? Little suggestion: If I was you, I would reconsider the idea of doing a "Camino".
Maybe it's a really important thing for you, I fully understand, but why don't you try something in the area where you live...
I am sorry to say this, but your message seems a bit unfair to @Unweekends, at least as I interpret it.
I don't know if you ever had pets, maybe you do, but while I personally don't think it's a good idea to bring the dog (and I suggested so in...
