    App for tracking mileage/sharing photos?

    I actually used it while I was walking. You can have it automatically place the dots on the map based on the data it captures, by the location captured by one of the photos you select for that “footprint”, or manually set the location. After I returned home I tweaked the data, text and photos...

    To poncho or not to poncho?

    Very sad story there… I discovered upon arriving home from one of my practice hikes before leaving for the Camino it had come loose from where I had it strapped on to the bottom of my pack. I retraced my steps but never found the Packa. It was the day before I was leaving so I ended up...

    Are waterproof hiking shoes a good idea?

    I bought goretex hokas from REI in the US several weeks before I started me Camino on the 11th. The first few days to Zubiri were very cold, rainy and muddy, but by feet were toasty and dry. Today it was sunny and dry walking through Logroño to Navarrava and my feet never got hot. It’s a matter...

    Thank you! Will do.

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    One quick comment, I’m a newbie (starting my first Camino from SJPDP in May) but one comment/suggestion I have regularly heard is get an adaptor that allows other pilgrims to use the same power source since there can me limited outlets available.

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    Love this. Looks smaller that the one I bought on Amazon and I like the flexibility of using it in different countries/areas.

    Medical emergencies on the trail

    Thank you.

    Medical emergencies on the trail

    May I ask what insurance company you went with? I am also in the US with a part B Medicare plan but I would like to get additional coverage. The plans I am seeing seem to include some sort of trip cancellation coverage that I’m not interested in.

    To poncho or not to poncho?

    Although I can‘t give it a proper review yet (since I just received it and I’m starting my Camino in May) I purchased the Packa after reading reviews. It’s a hybrid rain jacket/poncho/backpack cover. http://www.thepacka.com/ I’m waiting on a nice rain to check it out.

    Palacio Guendulain in Pamplona permanently closed?

    Thank you! and Buen camino.

    Palacio Guendulain in Pamplona permanently closed?

    In my obsession over my upcoming Camino starting on May 12th I read in one of the many books “On my way: Along the road to Santiago” where the author stayed at the hotel Palacio Guendulain in Pamplona. Although I’m mostly staying in regular albergues, I’m considering a splurge rest day in...
