Really cool. I checked it out and it is quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing! However I do think my mum is feeling a little better about it now. They do keep coming to the same idea that I need to bring all kinds of clothes to be safe for the winter weather. I keep reminding them that more is...
I started a blog for my family and close friends but I wanted to share with friends here too. This is for my general euro backpacking and then the camino in 25 days.

Falcon funny thing you mentioned the Lafuma cause I just literally purchased the Lafuma Extreme 800Ld Sleeping Bag
1lbs 13oz and compressible to 6x12 inches
Rated for 40F but i will be sleeping in layers.
Close to spec of the Alps Fleece liner but more protection.
Hard to beat at $60.15...
Since we are in the topics of liners what about the Alps Razor Fleece liner??

One user commented possibly using it by itself for temps in 30s Fahrenheit. Granted I am doing most of my walk in March. I just need something very...
Ordered these and pretty satisfied so far!! And they cost alot less than all the synthetics I've seen so far. Very smooth and light fabric and seems to offer good support. Seems pretty easy to clean and dry. Ordered 3 for my 2 months in Europe.

I arrive in Paris at 0900 on the 22nd Feb via Paris Nord station and will travel to Bayonne (via train) on Feb 25th. Anyone else in Paris around that time and would like to see Paris together?? My ticket to Bayonne is at 0829 arriving at 1356 then train to St Jean at 1505. Let me know thanks!! :D
I just received the soaps and tried the unscented bar. Works really well for shampoo and shaving utilizing the lather sack :) I don't see no problem using them for washing clothes. Oh they smell really nice too :)
You know wow I feel foolish :oops: to have never considered doing the Camino first... haha how about that. I can definitely do that but would be alot of trouble to travel back to Compostela after I complete my tour (return flight is in Compostela). However that is something I should...
I originally planned to simply tour Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, Benelux, and Italy) for 5 weeks but now things have changed so rapidly. I must admit I have not heard of the Camino before seeing the movie "The Way" 3-4wks ago. After watching the movie with my dad I said to myself there is no...

Thanks for shedding some more light in to this month. I do feel more assured that i've picked a good time to go.
Synthetic long johns and upper check
Columbia convertible synthetic pants check
Looking forward to meeting the types of ppl doing this in March!!

I thought I'd try to see if anyone have a copy of "A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago" (the St. Jean to Santiago) to share?? It would be fairly neat to use a book that someone has taken to the Camino before :D
Please let me know.
BTW i live in Rockville, Maryland USA :)
@ tyrrek
i did meant it to be funny :)
you know my dad did expressed wanting to do the Camino but not until much later. oh btw he is already 63 haha albeit he is in great condition for his age. he still works and do have a busy work schedule. the movie reminded me much of my relationship b/t...
@ Jeff
You felt the same as I do now! It feels like going from 60 to 0... Imagine treating several mass casualty traumas for several months then coming back to the opposite of this.. I feel useless.. I feel unfulfilled... I dislike feeling this way.
I told my parents the purpose of the...
@ AGW1
I too feel this may be a little too much but I feel like I must do it now or wait till I am much older :) I was planning on going back to school this January (already applied and signed up for classes) but I been dealing with some rather tougher personal challenges becoming a civilian...
Hello everyone I am Carlo from the USA. I am 28 years of age with a great desire to walk in March despite my mom's appeal. I recently deployed to Afghanistan and she told me she did not have a restful sleep while I was there :( I told her i have deep personal reason for my walk but she won't...
