I found a great converter for EU, from "Walkabout Travel Gear": http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com
I have two [2] as one [1] is a back-up.
The "Walkabout Solution" weighs 4.0 oz. / .116kg and is a much better option because it has a USB port and various fold-inside prongs for Spain, Britain...
This is a great charger: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTXA578/?tag=casaivar02-20
And, this Fuji camera is the most light-weight [ 5.5 oz. / 160g ] that takes two [2] AA batteries that do not recharge [ but you can replace along The Way ]...
I, personally, love the Brierley book because it is very detailed, colorful, easy to read and a nice dimension for pocketing - but it is HEAVY. [ 11 oz. or 311g ]
Gerald Kelly's book is LIGHTER, but is all black and white, not as easy to view. [ 7 oz. or 198g ]
And, Robert Hamilton's guide...
I am leaving Indianapolis via Atlanta to Madrid on 9 Sep 14 but arriving in Madrid on 10 Sep 14 at 08h35 and taking three [3] buses to SJPP.
I will be staying in SJPP until 13 Sep 14 and only going as far as Orisson, France [ Refuge Orisson ] to get as much out of my pilgrimage as possible.
I...
Thanks!
Your assertion is well thought out and presented but, the research I have reviewed [ endless debate huh? ] is that colloidal silver's effects, even though it's been around for over a hundred years, has not been published in any respectable medical journal. And, I quote, "due to the...
I personally have not yet trained on a rainy day but plan on doing so in the next 30 days before I leave on 9 Sep [2014] for SJPP.
My Nite Lite Outdoor Gear Men's Zippered Rain Chaps that snap-loop over my belt will keep my lower legs and top of the Moabs from getting wet underneath my Poncho...

This is great! Thank you!
However, it is a bit difficult to read on my Galaxy S4. It is probably much easier to read on a tablet with it's larger screen. I printed it out and had it bound with a plastic cover, front/back [ for protection ] and will roll it up and stuff it into my backpack to...
" I don't care what you think about us, about Europe, about Spain, I don't care how you arrange your things in your country, but what you have done it is more than enough. Please stop bothering us with your messages. I can not imagine that any other place on the Camino or anywhere on the Earth...

Wow. There is a massive amount of great information here on blisters, but I thought I would still comment.
I have been training for my 9 Sep 14 trek on Camino Frances [ and on to Finisterre and Muxia ] for eight [8] months now.
I wear Merrill Moabs and really love them.
I heard or read...
Yep.
Spell check hates when I use a Spanish word and wants to change it to an English word so "buen" becomes "burn" [ did it just now! ].
Buen Camino.

Hi Sarah!
A friend of mine who is walking from Sarria to Santiago with her daughter the same time you are.
I am leaving 13 Sep 14 from SJPP and hope to be in Santiago by 24 Oct 14.
She is from Denmark. If you hear someone speaking English with a Danish accent, tell her "hello" - she is...
Hello everyone.
Hope it's not too late to join in. I have been so busy preparing that I have not seen this section before.
My name is Noah and I am leaving solamente from Indianapolis for Madrid on 9 Sep 2014 to and make my way up to SJPP.
I look forward to seeing any of you on Camino...
Thank you Margaret!
I am staying across the street from the Pilgrim's Office on Citadelle…… On purpose! LOL.
I was hoping to get the credencial from SJPP before I left Indiana just so I could take it back when I go there. Just kidding.
I will either get it when I get there [ if they have not...
Hi "waterbaby":
First, congratulations on your up-coming nuptials! Wow. Cool.
Second, it sounds like, from your description, the same credencial as the one I have and it isn't French. It's the Spanish credencial which originates from Santiago where Ivar lives.
If you happen to see a weird...
Just an update on the question I posed about the t-shirt I was describing above.
I have been in touch with Jim [ the man in the video ] and he says he purchased the dark t-shirt with large yellow sea shell from a street vendor near or in front of the Cathedral Santiago.
Just thought you might...
