    Now what?????

    I haven't done my Camino yet so I can't comment on that, but I have traveled to some places a number of times and I find I always find something new in the places I've been before. I lived in Florence Italy and when I went back the year after I moved back to the states I discovered places...

    Who purchases travel medical insurance?

    I used Atlas Travel via HCC Medical Insurance Services (http://www.hccmis.com) for my trip to Belize last year. The policy was very easy to purchase and the customer service person I called to confirm coverage of sports activities was very knowledgeable and patient. I was going cave tubing...

    Backpack Taxis?

    I don't see myself as a tourist, and I plan on using a pack taxi. After 5 knee surgeries and spending 2 years in bed, and physical therapy, I am not ruining my Camino over what amounts to the judgement of others. Does it matter that as a photographer my day pack has camera equipment in it that...

    Although I have not yet done my Camino I have been training in my Lowa Renegades (http://www.rei.com/product/796065/lowa- ... ots-womens) and love love love them. I bought the red ones in order to more easily find them in the morning pre-coffee. Two weeks ago I did a 7 mile hike in Alaska to...

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    I have a phone from http://www.telestial.com that I purchased when I moved to Italy. They have other countries. I loved the fact that they had a a service where I could call a free number and it would call me back and then I could dial the number I wanted to call. This eliminated the...

    Wanted To Say Hello & Have A Few Questions!

    Wanted To Say Hello & Have A Few Questions! I have used http://www.airbnb.com for inexpensive places in Paris, and had great experiences. Once I had a studio apartment for a week cheaper than any hotel, and the other time I slept in someone's spare room for 18€.

    Just a thought

    I think I had those same three women on my Greek cruise. They were determined to ruin this one poor guys vacation. The man was super shy and on vacation alone trying to get over the horrific year that he had just had, his wife left him as his mother was dying. I had buddied up with a few...

    Greetings from the Way!

    Laura-Lee, I'm doing my Camino in late Sept./Oct and I have every intention of sending my pack by taxi for the first couple of days. I have had 5 knee surgeries and I'm not ruining or not finishing my Camino by worrying what other people think about my travel plans. As I have read over and...

    seeking other walkers leaving SJPP late April 2012

    Karen, Please post it here. I'd love to see it as well and I'm sure a few of the other newbies would appreciate it as well.

    Sexual discrimination on the Camino?

    Please don't take this as an insult to anyone's opinion, but being politically correct has gone a bit too far. As an American, the country that has taken political correctness to level where it has become an insult to other cultures, I feel that there are just certain places that not everyone...

    Advice for the Traveling Photographer

    I have another question. This one may be stupid, or just a personal preference. My mother, who may be more excited than I am, was super cute and bought me one of those backpack cages. I'm personally of the opinion that things like this attract attention to the bag and make people think there...

    Class of 2012

    Greetings from Los Angeles, California. My name is Nicci, I've just hit my 40th year. Where did the time go? The first time I heard of the Camino I was 18 and backpacking through Europe for my third time. The French trains had gone on strike and I was stuck somewhere between Paris, where I had...

    To camera or not to camera

    Caitlin, I too am going April/ May and as a photographer I am taking my camera. if you opt not to take yours you are more than welcome to any photos of mine you want once I get back and post them. I know it's not the same as taking your own shot of what you have seen, but the offer is there.

    Suggestions on Where to Take Breaks for a Couple of Days

    Wow thank you so much. I plan on letting the Camino and my body guide the way, but I very much value everyone suggestions. I must take a moment to thank everyone here for their guidance and the generosity of their time and knowledge. If only 10% of the people I encounter along my Camino are...

    Advice for the Traveling Photographer

    You were right about a few things. I have used my closed laptop as a pillow and a food tray. So it might come in handy for that. ;)

    Advice for the Traveling Photographer

    Oh I have no intention of editing photos on the way, and while SD cards are very inexpensive my camera uses CF cards which are significantly more money, and unfortunately my iPad does not allow me to upload that much info to it. I'm beginning to think what I really need to do is take the...

    Need Advice from US Pilgrims

    Having had my ATM/VISA card eaten at an ATM in Italy, I highly recommend having BofA issue you an ATM only card, as they won't give you a second ATM/VISA. I got the card back the next morning, so it wasn't that big of a deal, but I had run low on cash and it gave me a bit of ajeda for the...

    Advice for the Traveling Photographer

    Since a few people have asked, No I am not planning on doing a book and this is not actually an assignment for me. It is something I have been planning on doing for 10 years. I have had to postpone twice once after a severe knee injury laid me up for almost two years, and once because of...
