    Advice on Heat

    My Husband and I finished our first Camino (the Portuguese, Senda Litoral) last month, we found that Magnesium wafers with Zinc (the ones that dissolve in water) helped our bodies greatly, the aches & gave us more energy to last, even on the hot days. You can find them in any of the local...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Vac Requirements for Spain

    You know, if it's going to be such a drag for you to inform people about any requirements (for the upteenth time... whatever!) maybe you should just let other fellow pilgrims inform people of their experiences and what the requirements are. To be truthful, requirements are changing all the time...

    Taking our kids on Camino Frances....

    So inspired by you both! truthfully, when our 3 boys were younger, we took them everywhere ( we Homeschooled them, so everything became an adventure & a "unit study" of sorts) in the future they could write about it, do a verbal & written report about it as well as broaden their horizons to...

    How do you secure your backpack from theft as checked luggage.

    we used collapsible airline duffel bags that zip (and fold up real small in their own pouch) for our packs, they worked beautifully for travel & flights, then packed away once we arrived. Later we used them again to ship ahead all the stuff we packed but weren't using... double duty! bom Camino...
