    Finding Esbit solid fuel tablets in Porto?

    Ditto on the thermos. A good quality thermos can be filled with hot water before bed and provide you with steaming hot water in the morning. My Snow Peak is best for that. However, never tried it with ramen though -- the water would be hot but not boiling hot.

    Travel mug. Yes or no?

    I also have benign essential tremor (dominant hand). Unfortunately I was unable to travel this year due to an unexpected heart problem. I probably have the same cup as yours which includes a sippy cup lid. The location of the handle is different and that adds balance. I didn’t realize that...

    knees -- braces?

    I used poles on the CF in 2015 and never stopped using them. Started getting knee pain last year and have been using a compression sleeve covering each knee when necessary. Oh, and I leave Porto on 1 October as well. From Best Guest hostel. Hope to see you on the Camino.

    Space A anyone?

    Newbie here. Glad to find a Space A thread! I've flown from eastern US to Germany via Space A twice (2011 and 2012). The first time I flew on a tanker from a reserve base in Pittsburgh, PA, to Munich. Make sure to check reserve and guard bases near you to see if they have anything going out...
