    Thanks Theo : The Hardest Part in Meeting New People on the Camino is Knowing that are gone :S

    Such a bittersweet story. It is a reminder that we never know when we may be the one who touches a person's life forever, even if only in a brief encounter. I am sorry for the loss and the sadness it brings. I am so touched by your remembrance of him and I thank you for sharing. I pray for...

    Agony of de-feet: Trail Running Shoe (GTX) & SOCK Combo HELP

    Everyone has there own preferences and after doing a lot of research and reading a lot of recommendations, I bought Merrell trail running shoes. And I didn't read about a single soul who had tried them. My issue is my toes. I need something that my toes don't slide to the end going down hill...

    You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

    Very amusing thread. But nothing could possibly as confusing as our English in America. One of my husband's co-workers from Japan (although he was Chinese), was very fluent with English and several other languages and told us at dinner one night how confused he was when he got off of the plane...

    Need advice from women (G rated).

    My husband travels the world without me and almost always brings something meaningful back from each country. I started collecting handbags.. but handmade ones. It began when we were in Hawaii and watched a woman weave them from banana leaves. I now have them from all over the world made of...

    When you're strange...when you're strange...when you're...strrrrrange....

    I have so many but I just remembered my dumbest. I got off of a plane which I had to reboard; the same plane was my connecting flight so I left my carry-on on board. I also left my boarding pass.

    When you're strange...when you're strange...when you're...strrrrrange....

    Doors song. First thought that went through my mind. :) You are obviously a seasoned traveler and know how to handle these situations. I'm sure you've imagined the scenario if you had not caught the error. I'm a rather independent person, but travel is my hubby's forte and he'll be making...

    Need help, I just lost my only child 3 months ago and feel called to the El Camino

    Yours is a grief I cannot fathom. I pray you find comfort and guidance on your journey. You have come to the right place and you are asking all the right questions. I hope you feel the presence of those here who will have you in their hearts and minds. And may your steps lead you to the...

    Help a sister out - I have no thigh gap

    So brave of you to bring up this subject. I have no thigh gap either, never have, even in my youthful lean days. As a petite woman with thick thighs and muscular calves, I can empathize with you. IMO, it's like shoes and socks, you want the friction to be between the fabric, not the fabric...

    I'm Becoming Obsessed

    I'm obviously obsessed with planning mine. I feel as if it has all ready begun. I've been on several cross country camping trips in the past and when I return to "home sweet home", I always have a strange, indescribable "lost" feeling. As great as it is to return home, I almost feel like I...

    Supplex Nylon or Macabi skirt available locally?

    I just looked at the Macabi site. You sparked my interest. I can see why you like those pockets. I have been looking at hiking pants and have some possibilities saved in my wish list but now I think I should just make some that will suit my needs.

    How Many People Walked The Camino Without Any Training ?

    I think each individual has to assess their own physical fitness. At 33, I could have stepped out of my normal routine and attempted such a hike with no fears, but 20 years later, I know that would not be a smart idea. Two days ago, I went on a strenuous 4 hour hike in the mountains, with my...

    Supplex Nylon or Macabi skirt available locally?

    Have you tried this fabric supplier? I don't what their freight charges are but they do ship outside of U.S. http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/Supplex-Nylon-Fabric/SUPPLEX-Water-Repellent-Nylon-Fabrics I've also seen this fabric on eBay, not sure that's an option for you.

    New book out: "Su Camino..." by Brien Crothers

    I've read this. I downloaded it and read it before I became a member here. It is very good read. I enjoyed it and will be re-reading parts of it. I love that it's an e-book and I can bookmark and make notes. But it is also very valuable because it is such a current account. Thanks for...

    Best Camino Books (nonguide books, in English)

    I apologize if this one has already been listed; I did not see it. This is a very short read and cheap read for Kindle (.99). It is a detailed account of acquiring, testing, even weighing gear plus the journey using the gear. It is extremely well-written and entertaining as will as...
