    Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

    They actually reusable, maybe not for a month but probably for 5-6 times. I am not sure if you can get just a couple of pairs anywhere, without buying 300 of them. But if you have connections to medical professionals, I don't think it will be a problem. I understand your point about other...

    Earplugs

    Would you please share your experience with earplugs? I never used earplugs before, so I have no idea that is good or bad. I picked up one set from a dollar store another day and tested them last night. The result: I could hear perfectly all the snoring of my husband next to me, with occasional...

    Waterproof things in July?

    Question about backpack cover: I just bought new backpack 35l that I love. It Sits Very comfortable but it does not have its own rain cover. I got a cover separately, but still undecided between cover or just a black trash bag. We will be on Portuguese Camino for a week, so there is a big chance...

    Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

    I saw these shoes today on www.nomorerack.com . Looks like a good alternative to crocs, and it is just $12. If you google dawgs shoes, you will find ton of other variety, more like flip flops, more like sneakers, more like crocs, more like sandals, but for full price - 29-39$

    Do I go solo?

    My husband told me yesterday after spending more then 6 hours in Rei and LLbean: "I never enjoyed shopping this much, feels like the preparation for the Camino can be more fun than the walk itself". :)
