    Easiest one week for Camino for elders?

    REI Trail 40 pack

    Just finished the Portuguese from Tui to Santiago. I used a trail 40 from REI, and it was the perfect pack for the trip. The folks at REI sized me when I bought. The pack was comfortable and carried everything I needed. And it fit in the overhead bin on the plane.

    Passport Holder

    I used a neck wallet which I wore under my shirt and against my skin. Was comfortable, and It worked well, but a bit of sweat did manage to get in to the wallet. I would use it again but put my passport/pilgrim passport in a plastic sandwich bag in the wallet. Tried on some money belts, but...
