PS: Actually, Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, not a commie, said black coffee was healthy.
I have been muscle-tested for organic black coffee and it came out positive. We all have
different biology. Blessings.
YES! I just ordered my coil from Amazon that includes adaptor. Many uses besides coffee, as mentioned by you! Soup, oatmeal, quinoa, couscous, etc. Also a good money-saver for preparing own meals.
GOOD to know. But I was planning to buy one from Amazon, either one
that works in Europe or use the adaptor, but the former is obviously
easier. THANKS for the warning!
Thanks, Michal, for taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful perceptions. You are appreciated. It means a lot-- especially to us newbies --to learn from the experiences of seasoned camino comrades like yourself and other generous souls on this site to help us prepare.
As an older...
May I ask which brand of coil are you using that has lasted
SIX years? woo hoo! That is a LONG time.
YES, some of us find our morning coffee VERY
important LOL! Gracias Camino friends for your
suggestions!
Re: Bedbug Protection in the future....SO SORRY about your bedbug infestation. Friend returned from a first class holiday in Italy. She too, returned with bedbugs in her suitcase! (No backpack, hiking or Camino-type travel!) She had to invest in very expensive extermination in her small studio...
I have been to REI with a friend in the past. Not near one these days.
But I would imagine, since they are so helpful, IF you could go there
or some equivalent, there are very helpful salespeople who are also
hikers that could help you choose? Also, you know you have to walk
it around filled up...
Maybe you can find your own drip filter in a store in a larger town as well as coffee. That is my plan anyway from decades of travel: Bring own mug, heating element, drip filter and coffee! Sometimes you can find a decent instant coffee to make it simpler but not my favorite. When you need that...
That sucks about your phone! Sorry to hear it!
My phone is temporarily out of order (I hope) and I also have most addresses
and contacts on it. No online banking however. I am looking into having it on a chain
when on the Camino as I have learned to for my wallet after a theft living in Mexico...
Has anyone used a Faraday bag for their mobile or computer while on the Camino? If so, how does that affect getting access to wifi when you take it out? Thank you everyone!
THANKS SO MUCH for this, Kathy! YES, all to look forward to . I am going to experiment with this cheap 1 lb mini bullet blender in order to concoct some of my own juices, gazpacho, raw soups, etc! What the
heck? It's only a pound ha ha!
