    What do people use in terms of spray for bedbugs?

    Thanks, David! Not too late. I'm planning my trip for next Fall.

    I got blisters...

    Awesome! Thank you! Did you apply a lubricant again in the morning before you put on your socks or is it all in the nighttime application?

    Hey, Saramago, what does your "lengthy preventative measure process" look like?

    Awesome, Cejanus! Thanks for the detailed explanation. My feet do the same thing and it was the first thing I started concentrating on. In addition to the pumice stone, I have found nightly use of a black nail file (coarse) helps as well as a combination of applying Salicylic Acid (found in over...

    bedbugs: a rocky road

    Well, that's a relief, actually. This has been the scariest BB thread I've found here so far. There's so much good information here--I'm counting on it to carry me through on my fall Camino next year.

    Consider sandals, the "third" option

    I think I found these here and they look like they're on sale, too...

    Cejanus, sounds like a great plan! What do you do for foot preparation this far out? I'm looking for all the best ways to prepare for my first walk next September.

    Thanks for this. I've been looking for apps and hadn't come across this one. Giving it a go right now to see what I think. DuoLingo has an interesting back story, as well. http://www.fluentin3months.com/duolingo/ I'm also going to rent audio Spanish lessons from my local library. All that high...

    Severe tummy bug

    I think there's a difference between contaminated water and running into a few microbes that don't agree with your particular body. My own experience is that moving or traveling through or to a different region in the US and drinking the tap water has sometimes given me significant trouble...

    What do people use in terms of spray for bedbugs?

    Thanks, Annie. I have already checked out your blog and it is awesome. Have the link saved in my growing get ready for all things Camino list. I'm thinking of spraying the sleeping bag as a trial, waiting a week and crawling in to see how I do with it. It sounds as if the Camino area is a...

    What do people use in terms of spray for bedbugs?

    David, just to be clear, you treated the sheet but not the sleeping bag? I'm not hugely worried about bed bugs. I do have problems with insecticides, though--they usually make me woozy if they've been used in the area.

    My Camino Un-Packing List – The gear I had on reaching Santi

    Awesome! Thank you. I'm going to have to compare this to a couple other lists I've come across and figure out what you've decided to do without. I know I'll be much happier with a lighter pack.

    My Camino Un-Packing List – The gear I had on reaching Santi

    Goodness! 2.8K? You're the Light Weight Pack God! Have you posted your packing list somewhere? I guess there are apps that would scan this directly onto the iPhone, although it seems like it would take a lot of space to do so. I'm still thinking through the whole phone/no phone thing. I'd like...

    My Camino Un-Packing List – The gear I had on reaching Santi

    Al, did you use an app for that? Would you do it again?

    Day 10 - walking in sandals

    Awesome! So glad to hear this is working for you. Are you wearing socks with the sandals or going barefoot? Buen Camino!

    Flat feet

    Thanks, Doug. I think I ran across a similar post of yours on another thread. Great considerations. I have big feet and it's always been a chore to size them up right, even without the Camino.
