    Women's swimsuit

    I stayed in 4 Albergues with the pool on Frances. There are plenty more. Tell your daughter to bring her swimwear and enjoy the dips. Totally refreshing and vigorating after a hot day's walk. Buen Camino

    Backpack?

    I dont know....maybe he likes the number 60? ;):rolleyes:

    Backpack?

    60L IMHO is too big. Folks go with 30 or even a tad lower. I had 35L and that was plenty. Take the advice above and ho to a store where you can try some on for a good fit Good luck and Buen Camino

    Laundry Masher

    A bargain for a grenade

    Laundry Masher

    Product Size 64 x 93.5 x 65.5mm Weight 99g Does not look like you can get refillable beads so once the 200 washes are done - time to buy a new Grenade I dont know... less than 100g - thats negligible IMHO and on a Camino of say 6 weeks (which on Frances is a good stretch) at even 2...

    Laundry Masher - Hmmm... on one hand may come very handy. on the other not sure we'll be able to make it through the plane security with that Grenade-looking contraption

    Lucky you Apparently enough people had a different experience and were told to leave them behind or the poles were simply confiscated

    My new backpack from Gregory

    From Gregory website: Gregory Zulu 35 - 24 x 12.25 x 9.5 inches = 45.75 inches (as per below) Gregory Zulu 45 - 24.4 x 13.8 x 9.1 inches = 47.3 inches Most US airlines - 22 x 14 x 9 inches high including wheels and handles. All three measurements shouldn't add up to more than 45 inches...

    Would it be overkill to bring both a rain jacket and the Altus poncho in Oct/Nov?

    As per answers above IMHO it is not an overkill. Both items do not represent a lot of weight but give you a variety of options what may work best in many given situations. I walked May-June 2022 (not even Oct\Nov) and I had both jacket and poncho (not Altus but still...) Most of the times I...

    US International Phone plan or Spanish SIM card while on the Camino?

    WOW! Never had any of those and I've been to France, Camino Frances w\Finisterre & Madrid extension, Canada, Italy & Barcelona to name few places. Use my data a lot esp when it comes to my FindPenguins never ogt any of these messages. (Kinda hope that it is not something 'new' because, yes, that...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    IMHO it is too big by overall dimensions (my wife's Jade 28 is a tad large as well but I feel we'll be able to get it through) That Said I was checking mine in anyways because of the poles.

    My new backpack from Gregory

    I am totally in love with my Zulu 35L as well and recently got my wife Jade 28L in anticipation of the upcoming TMB we shall undertake in July

    Packing List: Welcome All Comments!

    When I walked in 2022 a lot of albergues were giving away free (of course small donation was always welcome) bags that one could scrounge up into a very small ball (if you will) and hardly took a space at all I got me a couple and just stuffed them into the backpack belt's side pockets. Hope...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Any small retail store will have them. Lots of members referred to chino shops. The store owners do understand "travel adaptor". I got one in Puente la Reina when mine got accidentally wet and all USB ports shortened out (the only thing i was able to use after it dried out was the actual plug -...

    Interesting. Since I am not on the Camino the flag is off and as I stated above it still crashed (as per @trecile note on accessing stage planner)
