CPAP Machines and Albergues
All cell phones have handy flashlights, which should not be intrusive on sleepers if one of you shades it with a hand while the other packs. Just a thought...- Wovoka

CPAP Machines and Albergues
Suggest that CPAP users pack along a multi-outlet wall plug (available in hardware stores) so everyone will have access for their own gizmos. Then everyone is happy!- Wovoka

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Primitivo in Spring, 2020?
Si, si, entiendo. Thanx for having my back, but I guess I gave the wrong impression. Am well aware that I'd be fine, even if every other Peregrino magically vanished on the Primitivo. Garry's just a bit over-protective & that's why I'd had second thoughts about going with him in the first...- Wovoka

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Primitivo in Spring, 2020?
Am considering doing the Primitivo this coming Spring, and suspect my girlfriend is not up to it. Hoped to go the beginning of June with a small group led by an experienced guide (he said Don't go alone, you might get lost!), but enough hikers are backing out that it looks increasingly like a...- Wovoka

4th Replacement Finished
Whoa, what an amazing, inspiring story!!! Am wondering - given your lower body replacements - are you a bicyclist, too? Ages ago, my last downhill run ended with my skis flying our from under me and a severely twisted knee. Being a runner, I assumed it was just banged up a bit - no sports...- Wovoka

Dangerous dog between Triacastela and Sarria (2019)
I agree with the earlier poster about the effectiveness of a rock on a dog. Here in the States, even if there was not a stone within reach, i would stoop while continuing to make eye contact (DO NOT LOOK AWAY because dogs take this as a sign of submission) and appear as if I were picking up a...- Wovoka

Security of backpack contents during flights
I'll repeat what I posted before, Dean: If the backpack is all you're taking on board, you might consider adding a professional- looking bag (briefcase, etc.) into which you can stuff extras. An airline like Qatar, I'm sure, allows this. I see such bags in Goodwill & consignment shops all the...- Wovoka

Security of backpack contents during flights
Don't forget that most or all airlines allow an ADDITIONAL small "business-related" (i.e. computer, etc.) bag as a carry-on ... which can weigh a ton, if you want. I've always brought on board a carry-on plus an expandable canvas roll-around briefcase and never been stopped for this additional...- Wovoka

Dealing with unwanted harassment
May another "guy" join this conversation? Now this story goes waaaaay back over 40 years to another wife when we lived in-town Atlanta, and she had gotten concerned about our teenage daughter's safety while out partying with girlfriends. She signed both of 'em up for a self-defense course...- Wovoka

I have been living on the Camino for the past 12 months. Here is a collection of some of my favourite photos I took during this 7,000km adventure.
"Good on' ya," as the Aussies say. (I'm from the U.S. Pacific Northwest.) Might do the French Way again, if only to commune with my wife, Desiree's ashes, which I had deposited from St. Jean to the Atlantic this past spring. I'd arrived with the usual four cameras and realized, upon arrival...- Wovoka

Hello, UCDguy, I just finished scrolling thru all your photos and am impressed! May I ask what camera(s) you use? Some formats suggest a smart phone, while others look like they were made with a digital camera ... but as you know, a photographer's favorite friend is the cropping tool. I might...- Wovoka

Non walking partner wants to buy a motorbike - any suggestions?
Sweet looking ride, perfect for your needs. I envy you having free storage for future rides. Also a pleasant experience, isn't it, becoming instant "friends" with bikers you meet along the way...?- Wovoka

Non walking partner wants to buy a motorbike - any suggestions?
Just noticed your post on motorbiking along/beside/in the vicinity of the Camino. Have walked twice from St. Jean - first time riding up in a taxi on a weekend - and the number of sport bikes zooming around curves had me (owner of a Triumph Daytona 955i) slobbering all over the window. I'm...- Wovoka
