      I used a heavy black trash bag using duct tape to wrap it tight and leaving the top grab strap to carry it and to attach luggage tag to. To go home I just ask for a bag from airport hotel and cinch it with the emergency duct tape wrapped on my...

      I just use one of these... and plenty of packing tape around and around... purchased from the above mentioned stores! Never had a problem with damage.

      The so-called China stores sell this kind of thing. They are everywhere and seem to sell everything, especially if it is made of plastic. Ask in your hotel, they’ll point you to the nearest one.

      I agree completely, but actually it's those pre-existing medical conditions that make me surprised that we don't have more deaths. An example: cardiovascular disease is the number one Killer worldwide. The CDC statistics (2021) show that the...

      Having just completed my first, and possibly last, CF I was amazed at the number of pilgrims I saw with a death/injury wish from texting while walking down rocky slopes to wandering up the middle of a road, I'm not sure if this was due to...

      As tough as the trail can be, and as out-of-shape and un-suited to the job as some of the pilgrims appear, I am forever amazed that so FEW people die each year on the Way.
