I was in training as a daily distance walker when I walked the Camino wearing a supportive knee brace for my torn meniscus and calf sleeves everyday. I also used hiking sticks and had my pack transported. I was determined not to risk any further injury that would prevent my continuing. It worked...
I walked the Francis last fall alone @ 72 with a torn meniscus supported by a brace and using hiking poles. I used transport for my pack to insure no further injury to my knee. I had a wonderful time, made great friendships, walked both with others and alone, had my quiet peaceful moments alone...
@paul.ferris Yes! I had the most amazing meal and recovery while enjoying myself at the outside seating of that last restaurant leaving Molenseca. In the middle of the day no less I was served the pilgrims menu. When I finished the chef appeared on the patio, slung his towel over his grand...
Thank you for sharing your visual navigation for the river route. At the bottom it took 1 hr 5 minutes? To complete? It looked so much longer I just wanted to know if you were running? Thanks again!
Thank you for your very clever strategy in the event of being robbed! As a planner by nature having a plan for this potential event is great. Also I was wondering what to do in case of the restroom, ugh! Bus or train posses many opportunities to be aware weary travelers! Thanks again!

Now it makes sense, and I knew it would be less expensive once I figured out the phone piece. I am Not tied to usa number because I have the ipod.
Did not know there was phone with dual sims though.
Yes all clear right over My head!
Thanks for sharing the info, so helpful.

That is what I thought and that those sold at Target and BB are unlocked right out of the box. I will have to check again for the generation, I know they use minutes no contracts.
I bought an ottercase for my ipod touch, have to press harder but best case ever.
I tend to be drawn to upgrading to a dual country unlocked version phone, I have been using cheap easy to replace androids as a way to my next level. I do want to be reachable while out there as you mentioned.

I know they are easy to swap out, not sure when you change the country and language. How do you plan for a number? Are you thinking to set it up in usa and just go with that number? Nancy
Hi Janice
No, in fact they sell the moto at Best Buy and Target too, not sure which generation but both are about $50.00, but being a content net10 minutes user no way would I enter back into contract phone use. i just want to make sure I have access while in Spain using minutes cards, I know...
Hi Bajaracer
Wow that was an expensive phone to then have to add a larger SD card.
They sell these Moto phones at Target and Best Buy for $50.00 usd. So makes me ask what is the advantage of this phone? The newest generation? Also what is OTD? Thank you for joining the discussion! Nancy
Janice I found this article last week, 4 years old but my daughter said its still info to look at. Also the number you get only lasts a year, all this making me want to bite the bullet for iphone, maybe a 5 refurbed to save some $. Another choice I have looked into Tmobil prepaid that would lead...
Hi Janice, I have been considering the GSM World Phone just to use in Spain too. The question is how do you then once you have the sim obtain a phone number for the new phone? Have not gone back to Best Buy to ask that, anyway they don't appear to know much about them or how they work in Europe...
Thank you for you input Kurt, when you arrived in Spain or wherever in Europe did the customs inspect what you had in your bag? Assuming you need to provide some type of declaration I just wanted to know if that is what they do. Thank you, Nancy
