    Thoughts on photography and camera selection for the Camino

    I bought this for my camino. http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-E-PL1-Int ... ywords=pl1 This camera is on par with a D200 if you check out the stats and comparison on dpreview.com. I'm leaving my D300 and my lenses behind. This baby takes absolutely beautiful shots, has full manual controls and...

    Last minute double check. I hope I'm ready

    Ah yes, toiletries and medicines are minimal, and going in a small dry bag. I did leave out my camp shoes because I haven't decided what to take yet. I honestly cannot wear sandals, crocs, or anything of that nature so I'll probably end up bringing a pair of Nike's that I wear normally around...

    Last minute double check. I hope I'm ready

    Hah, thanks Vagando. I have a new toothbrush I'm going to take with me, and the Sierra packs actually have a pocket at the bottom with a rain cover so I'm set there. I guess I'll have to settle with the same thing and just stop worrying haha. Bueno Camino!

    Last minute double check. I hope I'm ready

    So I'm heading out sooner than planned. Flight takes off around 10pm Tuesday from JFK. I almost have all my stuff, just missing a few things. Was hoping to get some opinions as to if I'm missing anything >.< Only things not shown are my Moab's, camp shoes which I haven't decided what I'm taking...

    Leaving the US in 5 days!

    I'm heading out of JFK International on Tuesday night. Hope to start my Camino by the 27th or 28th :D . Maybe I'll catch you guys out there. Would be nice as I'm imagining I'll speak nothing but Spanish for 30 days and find it difficult to converse in english when I come home LOL

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    An alternative choice to Skype, I use it to speak with family in Argentina all the time. Its excellent. My parents took their iPhones, which are locked to AT&T's US network with their US sim's and when they were on a WiFi down in Argentina, They could call my phone/vice versa. You need a Viber...

    Bringing vitamins/supplements

    Due to some unknown reasoning, I have a tremendously difficult time eating foods out of my comfort zone. If the texture or consistency is strange or not to my mouth's liking It'll instantly hit my gag reflex. One thing I can assure you I wont eat is fish. Pork is next on that list. I've been...

    Laundry Soap

    I was only planning on using them strictly for laundry. Can't imagine any other way to hand wash clothes in a compact fashion >.<

    Strange issues with my Merrells, anyone else encounter this?

    Thanks for the advice Trudy, I'll give it a shot, though I had it tied at the last set of holes. I also tied it as to keep my feet from moving inside as I've been told and read thats the contributing reason to blisters, your feet moving and creating friction against the socks/socks against the...

    Hey all. I'm Juan. Decided to join not too long ago after lurking and using the archived posts on here to stock pile knowledge on this tremendous endeavour I'm about to embark on. Sorry for rambling, its what I do best haha. I watched the Emilio Estevez film "The Way" back in February when it...

    Laundry Soap

    I'm bringing this with me. I tested it out yesterday in my sink with 2 sheets. It worked out decent, not the best but on a daily basis I will only be washing 1 pair of socks and exofficio's so hopefully its enough for that. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y0 ... 00_s00_i00

    Strange issues with my Merrells, anyone else encounter this?

    I purchased a set of Merrell Moab Waterproof low boots. Photo below. Now I've been wearing these around town and to work and such with no issues. I encountered the problem the other day on my first hike outing with them. In order to keep my feet from moving around at all, I tied the laces to...
