    Managing Knee Pain: What Has Worked for You?

    My friend who walked the Sept Camino with me has a bad knee. If you watch my video I posted, you can see he is wearing a knee brace but also how weak and awkward the leg is. I asked him numerous times how was he able to persist with that knee. He told me: naproxin, his brace, using walking poles...

    Walking the Senda Littoral Camino: My 3 Weeks Adventure in Spain

    Thank you. BTW your book is the reason why we decided to take 3 weeks. We literally called it a Sauntering Camino, called ourselves "the chillgrims," and I would not do it any other way moving forward! We RARELY exceeded 15km in a day and really tried to enjoy the sites and the experience...

    Walking the Senda Littoral Camino: My 3 Weeks Adventure in Spain

    Thank you! I tried to keep it under 4:30 to adjust for my own video ADD (Efren's videos aside). Eric and I grew up together although never did a Camino together. Eric and Lisa met on and tackled the Frances together. So, it was fitting we all sync'd up. In 2024 we are reuniting to do the Del Norte.

    Bag Carrier Service Availability for Tui Apartments in Santiago

    They coordinate with apartment owners and managers. Most have keypad access and can leave the bags right inside the door. No one has to be there. We had no issue when we used it, esp. in more remote areas. They were able to get inside of every place we stayed. We just reached out to them with...

    Walking the Senda Littoral Camino: My 3 Weeks Adventure in Spain

    On Sept 1, 2022, my 2 friends set out from Porto and walked the Senda Littoral Camino variant to Santiago. I tried to make less of a detailed, explanatory video (there are plenty) and, rather, wanted to present a brief look into what we saw, day to day. We eventually arrived in Santiago after...

    Reservations in albergues municipal in 2021

    While only discovered in like the 60s, coronaviruses have been with us for all of human time (as flu flus, some colds, bird flus, swine flus, later MERS, SARS, etc) more likely, we will simply adapt and live with it as humans always have.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Getting Vaccinated Today

    I feel a lot of your concerns and I share them. If I must, I probably will do the J&J as its a viral vector vaccine and I feel a bit more comfortable with that then mRNA. But that's me.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Portugal PRC test or Antigen?

    I don't see any info where it says a self-test is excluded. From the EUHC: A common list of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests that are considered appropriate for use in the context of the situations described in the Council Recommendation, that are in line with countries’ testing strategies and...

    Distinguishing “Normal Pain” from Potential Injury

    When I started to develop tendonitis, it was annoyingly sore for a number of hours. When that soreness became hobbling, I figured something was wrong. Rest, compression, magnesium, Volteran did the trick. In the end, less distance and a rest day early on would probably have been enough...

    SIM card advice

    Right. The new iPhones as well. My 12 pro has an esim and a physical sim slot

    SIM card advice

    To this point, GoogleFI does allow for up to 4g so it’s a good choice if someone has it and doesn’t want to get Voda or similar. Since it’s an MVNO the high speed is prioritized below local subscribers but is rarely an issue.

    SIM card advice

    GoogleFI is what’s called an MVNO. It’s phone service that piggy backs on T-Mobile’s towers. Note that if you have a Google phone, GoogleFI will automatically jump between T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular towers automatically as needed. Further note that T-Mobile and Sprint use the same towers...

    SIM card advice

    Dual sim means the phone can have 2 SIM cards and 2 different cell plans from different compatible services at the same time. This also allows for 2 numbers. Sims are all standard now and fit all modern phones. Most phones however are single sim meaning you have to remove one sim and replace...
