John Sikora replied to the thread Bar etiquette.I always do it. Seems like just a nice thing to do. Most of the bars that I went into didn't have a lot of help and I don't mind doing a little bit to help keep them in business. You certainly don't get rich running a bar in the small towns that...

John Sikora replied to the thread Cafe con leche different this year?.Another vote for "they just like it stronger in the south". I also found that to be true when I walked the VDLP. Luckily, I like my coffee very strong so I was a happy walker.

John Sikora replied to the thread Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?.Just a side comment. I've always packed my Swiss Army Knife in my checked luggage after having some problems in Australia, so that would be my vote.

John Sikora replied to the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice.Not sure I would cancel. First of all, the 1200 ft in elevation change is worth some k. If the change in altitude as a percent of walk is high that probably did you in. The CP along the coast doesn't have anything near a 1200 ft up, so I...

John Sikora replied to the thread Water, water....I'm like the others. Unfortunately, I sweat quite a bit and am diabetic so I don't want to get dehydrated. I carry two liters of water (one with just water and the other with an eletrolyte solution). it's 4 lbs but worth it. That said, I've never...

John Sikora replied to the thread Ferrol train station - arriving at midnight.I've arrived at the station a couple of times during the mid-afternoon and there were only a couple of taxis waiting. Had to go next door to the bar to have them call, which they were nice enough to do. Bus station was worse, no taxis waiting...
