    HeidiL reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    When are you wanting to go? There is much more solitude in the off season (December to March) on the Camino Frances. Or chose a quieter route such as the Via de la Plata, Camino Invierno, or the Mozarabe?

    Awww I LOVED reading this. I’m taking my 9yo daughter and hoping for some down time and reconnection and just being together. You are making me feel as though my shorter stages are the smart move! We each are bringing a journal to draw and write...

    Ok, wait for the Aragones.

    take the spork. Zip lock bags for food. If it rains, as others have pointed out... it's the time it takes stuff to dry that is more of the problem. Cover for your pack and shoes that you are used to.

    I carry a microwavable cup and a spork on each Camino and I do use them. I make instant coffee for myself in the morning and the spork I use for yogurt or instant soup. If you eat out all the time, you may not need them though. Edit: In Galicia...

    Forget about waterproof shoes or boots. There's a good chance that they would make your feet hot and sweaty in May and June. Plus, water will still get in if it's raining heavily enough, and they will take much longer to dry out than...

    I have a very small 5000 mAh battery pack (weighs about 4 oz/115gm), which I rarely need to use at all. I bring a 10 ft/3 meter charging cable, which is usually long enough to reach my bed. On the rare times that it isn't I rely more on the...

    HeidiL reacted to Peterexpatkiwi's post in the thread Packing - edition one with Like Like.
    Sarah I'm one who has for nearly 40 years always had a spare (third) pair of socks and underwear. Yes it's a little bit of a luxury but I seriously dislike putting on damp or even just half dry underpants. A 3rd pair of socks acts not only for...

    HeidiL reacted to sun is shining's post in the thread Packing - edition one with Like Like.
    Hey Sarah! I’d bring both the 3rd pair of undies (that you are undecided about) and a plastic container. The undies probably only weigh a minuscule amount anyway and having a “spare” pair will be more comfortable. If your walking pair doesn’t...
