    Backpack/equipment recs for small migraine-prone people?

    Look into packs that are made for children. You are probably about the size my son was for part of our Camino. We just happened upon a kid's backpack at WalMart, of all places, that worked perfectly for him. Now he's getting close to 6 feet, so I doubt he'll be using it again, though! Good luck...

    Walking Poles - Bring them they are essential

    I've never used them and never intend to even try. I have tendonitis - can't grip anything for long. My hands go numb. I've managed to walk and not fall over (yet).

    please tell me what I can leave behind

    Very diplomatic, Tom! My 11-year-old carried a 5k pack last year. We took it for him about 15 minutes a day when he got tired, but other than that, he was fine.

    Question for the Ladies....

    Hello there from Abu Dhabi as well (there are several of us on this forum - go figure)! Workout pants work for me and my friend. I wish I could find some that are above the knee, but the only ones around seem to be bike shorts with all that padding, so no. I wore a combination of capris...

    For the Ladies

    Barely There brand panties are reasonably priced and easy to find (I get them at Kohl's when I am in the US). They are microfiber, mostly seamless, and dry very quickly. I've also managed to get reasonable larger sizes yoga-type capri pants at Kohl's and Target. I think they are the best...
