    Silk Liner Feedback?

    It was a bunk with no ladder, shoved up against 4 other beds, so I woke 7 people everytime I got back up to my bed, but none of them realized why I kept getting up.

    Silk Liner Feedback?

    Loved my silk sheet but like above . . . My down quilt would slide off, until I started using it inside my silk sheet sleeping bag. ;)

    Packing cubes or dry sacks?

    I used to Eaglecreek ultralight bags until I had a run-in with bedbugs, and ever since then freezer storage thickness Ziploc bags are the way we go. They are the same weight as the Eagle Creek, but provide the peace of mind that your clothes have not been exposed to the bedbugs even if your...

    Last minute thoughts on clothes

    Yes to the leggings they could be worn with a sarong while you are washing everything else in your bag if you find a good laundry situation. But the thing I wanted to say . . . is wear comfortable pants with very few seams for the long flight. I sat it cargo pants from Vancouver and had welts...

    Blogger

    I found the Squarespace app problematic until I realized I was trying to post full size photos. As soon as I emailed the photos to my self and uploaded the smaller version it started working reliably.

    Will I need a fleece?

    Also, I have a light puffy mid layer that I take instead of a Fleece - with the rain coat on top to stop the wind or rain.

    Will I need a fleece?

    Do you mind being cold? I am cold averse so I carry the fleece and the sleeping bag. Other people don't mind the cold so they take a sleep sheet and no fleece. What is your preference???

    Phone Plans

    I did a Spanish SIM in 2011 and 2013, but in 2017 I found a plan in Canada that was $100 extra for the month. Kept my number and my texting used my iPhone like I was at home. Plans are changing so quickly, don't eliminate the possibility of having your home cell company come up with a...

    What is Your Comfortable Pack Weight? / Gear Advice?

    I would do 1 between you and if you need another 1 buy it in Spain.

    What gear is the lightest in your pack?

    :D But now I carry a extra battery for a last minute charge - but a good trade off! :D Thus the extra battery!

    packing list

    No shocked, I just found it too hot to be inside the sleeping bag! And with a man I didn't know less than 2 feet away, I preferred more coverage sleepware.

    packing list

    Did you think about what you will be sleeping in. Hot nights you may be on top of your sleep sheets and you may be sleeping in a bunk bed 12" away from a stranger. No response needed just a question to ponder.

    What are you sleeping in?

    Where to lighten the load?

    Now for the otherside of the coin . . . Think about the camera - if you are a photographer and love taking photos - in Spain every moment of every day is a photo opportunity for you. If you use it regularly you will not mind the weight. The only issue is where to carry it - if it is...
