    LIVE from the Camino What CAN’T go in the dryer when treating for bed bugs?

    Right. When I melted them I wasn't trying to treat for bedbugs. Just drying my clothes. The first time I didn't realize they couldn't hold up to the heat. The second time I was plain old careless: got distracted and didn't realize I'd set the dryer for such a hot setting.

    LIVE from the Camino What CAN’T go in the dryer when treating for bed bugs?

    I like to use FoxRiver Coolmax liner socks. These: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V5CJ08/?tag=casaivar02-20 They really hold up well and are comfortable, but I'd definitely not put them in a hot dryer to get rid of bedbugs. Twice, on two different caminos, I put them into a too-hot dryer and...

    Should I pack backup eyeglasses?

    I'm pretty helpless without glasses and I've always brought an extra pair of eyeglasses as a backup in case my main pair are lost or broken. But, I'm re-considering for our upcoming camino (leaving in a week!) because over many caminos and other trips I've never needed the backup and I am also...

    Foot Pain - sharp pain on top of foot

    After we finished that camino we spent a week in Madrid which involved a lot of tourist walking. By the end of that week my foot was pretty swollen and bruised looking. It hurt but wasn't excruciating. I wasn't sure what was going on but as soon as I got home to the States I went to a doctor...

    Foot Pain - sharp pain on top of foot

    I started having sharp pain top of foot day before arriving in Santiago. It turned out to be a stress fracture.
