Hola. Voy a escribir en inglés.
I just got back (to Miami, Florida) from 4 weeks sightseeing in Spain. The plan was to try and walk at least a part of the Camino Inglés. NOT!! I took the bus from A Coruña to SDC: one hour.
My mother and brother live in Caracas. She's 95 and I haven't seen her...
I'm sitting here sewing and gluing clothing ID labels to my clothes and gear. (Think what some moms attached to summer camp clothing.)
I got 100 for $18 at starlight labels (in the US). I chose sew-on. Unlike the old woven material kind, these feel almost plastic/paper-like so there's a bit of...
I've read about April showers but what should I take in the way of outerwear for the whole month of June: Madrid, CI and then ?
Breathable hooded rain jacket?
Rain pants?
Thin windbreaker?
Lightweight fleece jacket?
I guess the real question is what I can safely leave behind. Am I likely to...
I would appreciate tips on booking hostels online. I arrive in Madrid on June 2 and due to numerous complications, I only tried to reserve yesterday.
My first choice (The Hat) had no availability so I started to feel panicky. Via Booking.com I picked Motion Chueca Hostel. One bunk in a 6-bed...
I have three Sunday Afternoons hats with neck capes:
A pretty purple one with a long, slightly ruffled neck cape, a beige one with a longish (7") neck cape (Adventure?) for kayaking, and an olive-y green one with (5") neck cape (Sport ?) that is great for hiking because you don't have a hat...
I usually buy men's swim shorts for kayaking because they come with built-in mesh underwear. They're also good for hiking.
I've started training with them.
So far, I've tried a black Adidas pair of short shorts with lining and a black Puma board short length with no lining. I'm short so...
While looking at someone's packing list,
I (female) came across a link to men's undershorts with a zippered pocket for $30.
They work great as unisex undies. I got a 4-pack (4 colors and a printed design) from Amazon for $17!! I ordered the XXXL (I wear women's XXL for tops etc) and was...
I hope I'm not breaking en protocols, but I wanted to share this info posted by kinkyone on another section in January 2015.
I've just watched the 27 min CI one. Very lovely. The narration is a bit on the flowery/literary side, but the videography is professional and provides a good look at...
