I'm starting in SJPP the first week of September. I'm taking a brand new pair of the HOKA Mafate 4's (trail shoes) and a pair of HOKA Bondi 4's (road shoes). Plan to switch back and forth along with sock changes. Can't wait! !! HOKA rocks!!! Sure hope Decker take over doesn't mess HOKA's up.

I need to acquire a taste for wine so I can 'fit in' with the crazy ER nurses I work with! They all say going home after a long...
Hi All: I am walking the Camino Frances in September. I would really like to have some of the local wines shipped back to the states for my coworkers. Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
