Teva sandals don't protect yr toes! Small stones do also easily enter under yr foot, and will cause problems. I suggest a test of KEEN's models. They are trustable and do protect yr toes!!
No open-toe sandals! "Keen" have the best models. Otherwise stones very easily will come inside. And yr toes are not protected!
Another thing is that u ought to have 10 mm free in front of yr toes. Otherwise u will have problems when the slope goes down, and yr feet will force forward in the shoe.
Keen sandals are ideal! Reva not because they are open in the front. Yr toes should be protected and fewer stones will come inside .... So always choose Keen! Good to have in the albuerge, evenings and as a reserve on the trail.
The difficulty is to get the poles attached to the hand-luggage. A bit more than 55 cm length, they can be tightened diagonal to the rucksac. At the check-in there is a testbox, and such a one can easily be made by cardboard with legal measures at home. Otherwise, buy a wooden one at arrival...
Maximal height for the rucksack as handluggage in Europe is 55 cm. I always fold my poles together and place them diagonal. Never a folding-knife! and The blade must not be more than 60 mm. Knifes made of plastic can divide sausages and cheese, and are also ok.
Nice idea with packinglist in pictures. But ....
Folding-knife is not accepted in hand-luggage. And blade should be max 60 mm.
Poncho - too windy and not good for legs. Jacket + trousers + backcoverage is better!
1,5 ltr bottle - more easy to handle 3 x 0,5 dl
Walking socks in double layer...
