Thank you to all of the camino veterans on this forum who post such useful advice!
My husband and I first learned about the camino in our high school Spanish class nearly 12 years ago, and it's been a dream of ours to make the pilgrimage ever since. We haven't had the opportunity until this year, which looks like it could be our last opportunity for a very long time. Unfortunately, due to time constraints with vacation time (my husband only gets two weeks off per year) we will have to bike instead of walk, but we are still looking forward to a great journey!
