Only half crazy, starting at the end of March....:confused: I'm leaning towards tenting most of it and mail ration drops (3-5 days) ahead of time. Not sure if anyone has done this before.
Peace of Passage!
I received an early trip gift today, (2) 3000mAH emergency battery packs (USB). They are really nice and includes a led flashlight and SOS mode beacon. Really cool and light weight. They really have come a long way with battery technology.
I've used that before in the past. My Dad was a ScoutMaster back in the 70's and while living In Southern California, we would hike into the High Sierra Mtn. Also, I've heard mention of using Sportslick, curious in those results. I plan on trying several options but definitely Merino wool...
Finally settled on my Pack, Bag(s), Shoes and Poles
Shoes: Solomon 4D-GTX (10) extra size bigger
Pack: Osprey Exos 46 (L)
Bag: Velocity 35 (Mummy), Coolmax Bag Liner and Sol Escape Bivvy. Should cover most concerns.
Poles: Black Diamond Ultra-Distance Z Poles
Plan on taking several weekend...
Hi Karen, I'm still in the planning stage. It will most likely be the 29th or 30th I leave SJPD. Weather is a concern. I'm trying to get the best of both weather and solitude given my available schedule. I love company but just not too much, lol.

Sillydoll,
Cellphone, check! I will be taking an Emergency Bivy just in case bad weather socks me in route. I agree, talking to the locals is smart, given the limited supplies I will be packing. Thanks!
Cheryl,
Thanks for the insight. What was your experiences with the Hostels in Paris? I'm looking to save as much money as possible since I'm going for 40 days. One reason I was think of returning to Paris, just so much to see and do. I may even try and sneak in London for a few days. Maybe I...
Dale, thanks for the open jaw ticket idea. I honestly never heard of such a thing but this is only my first trip trekking abroad. Did a 12 day med cruise but both in/out of Barcelona.
It would appear that round trip flights are cheaper from the US than one-way flights. Plus, I want to take in as much of the museums in Paris as possible. I'm thinking I might recruit the assistance of a travel agent.
Hello,
I am new to the forum. I am planning my Journey for March 2014. I plan to fly into Paris from NJ/USA and sight see for a few days and then rail to SJPD. I have been reading as much as I can to be well informed. Hopefully my brother, who has trekked Scotland a few times will accompany me...
