    Walk the Camino, while working remotely?

    My husband carried two laptops on the parts of the Camino Frances that he did--the second one in case the first failed. Got transport for his smallish pack with other items/clothing. We had booked rooms or small hotels and had adequate internet and were there about 2 weeks on that trip, but I...

    Hikikomori ("shut-in") pilgrimages on Shikoku

    A lesser known phenomenon, predominantly among young Asian/mostly Japanese men. Great approach to addressing this difficult social/emotional/developmental issue.

    Hotel or Inn midway SJDP to Roncevalles

    I had only previously stayed in small hotels, but last trip I stayed at Borda. Individual bed with curtain, light, and electric outlet for charging; plenty of privacy. Lovely pilgrim dinner. Opens mid-late afternoon. I shared the room and bathroom/shower/loo with 3 lovely women from Australia...

    Chacos on the Camino

    Can't help with the Portuguese Camino; wore them twice on the CF--with toe loop, sometimes worn with Injiji toe socks. These are my favorite walking shoes. It takes an extra minute or less to adjust the straps (more than the ones without toe loop, which I also have).

    interesting article from 2018--I'm not sure it has been posted here before.

    The Camino Walks Into Vogue Magazine

    Though horrified by the degree to which wealth has been accumulated by a few, I would very much like to see any of them actually walk a Camino. Who knows; there could be a "road to Damascus" moment.

    I was skeptical but actually enjoyed the tone of this article.

    Do some people not get stamps?

    I walked for a while with a retired attorney who got no stamps--and had also tossed all diplomas and other certificates on retirement as well. For me, the "Camino mug" gives me comfort and connection to the experience.

    Travel Insurance for Americans

    Travel doc friends recommended MedJet Assist—they have seen it in action and were impressed. A neighbor of ours (without extra insurance) paid over $100k to bring ill hubby home. The “repatriation” is the expensive problem. So we have an annual family Medjet Assist policy and luckily have...

    Pamplona bag drop and possible Zubiri-Pamplona shortcut

    sharing for interested others. Lodging in Zubiri recommended sending bag via Jacotrans to Albergue Casa Ibarrola, right in the old town, since the bus station is quite a distance. It worked great and there’s a bus or taxi to the train station from old town city center. Btw the Albergue host was...

    Pamplona bag drop and possible Zubiri-Pamplona shortcut

    I think this will be safest bet. I read that the bus station in Pamplona has bag storage so will take there and walk around town for a couple of hours. 🙏
