Advice sought for wounds on feet from walking
Same timeframe for my blisters. My error was getting a pedicure before I left. One part of the pedicure was that they file off your calluses. My blisters were brutal.

Luggage transfer
After the first week on the Frances, I developed a terrible set of blisters (NEVER get a pedicure before you go). I am recovered enough to walk 25K without problem. But, there are NO hills here.

Albergue pillows
I am a physician who has worked many years in the tropics. Permethrin is a safe and effective preventive measure for bedbugs (and other insects). I am on the Camino right now and my sleeping bag liner is impregnated with permethrin.- RangerRick

Insomnia
I have had significant problems with insomnia since the last time I got back from Iraq. After 3 months of non pharmacologic treatment, my doc put me on chronic sleep medicine. It doesn't work perfectly. If I want to avoid morning sedation, I can't take too much. One non pharmacologic...- RangerRick

Storing luggage for the Camino walk
A question: I will hike the Camino Frances from SJPdP to Santiago and intend to ship my non-hiking luggage to Santiago through Express Bourricot. My wife will join me after the Camino for a few weeks of visiting friends in Italy and Germany. Then we will go to the Rotary International...- RangerRick
