    Last post From The Road

    I get it in Latin America too...not by the locals but by "travelers" and "tourists". Mostly people are nice and respectful, but occasionally...just "wow" at the venom towards the US and its citizens. I met a lovely Russian woman on my last sojourn in Guatemala and she is asked constantly about...

    Leaving in one week

    OMG! It's almost here! I've trained and acclimated well to my gear. I've lived out of it for 24 hours and washed and air dried my clothing overnight to make sure my clothing choices are correct. I've combed the forum and adjusted and reworked my gear and packing list. I've packed, re-packed...

    How often will we come across drinking water? Sizes of water bottles??

    I have a fear of running out of water - whether it's a 5 mile hike or a 20 mile hike. I also look at water opportunities like I do bathroom opportunities. Never let an opportunity pass you by :)

    How often will we come across drinking water? Sizes of water bottles??

    Great advice. Whatever you choose must work for you. I am terrible at drinking water so the hydration bladder is a constant reminder with the "in my face" tube. My plan is to rinse it out and fill it up with two liters of fresh h20 every evening and then when I encounter water on the way...

    How crowded is it.

    Please let us know! I'm little over week behind you! When I first joined the forum, I was told that they just hadn't released the beds yet as several of my first choices in Pamplona were booked. Now, I think, October may be quite busy, too. I will adjust and plan ahead if I must... One of...

    Going separate ways on camino?

    Your gut is telling you the answer - you wrote: "I'm really shocked and regret that I said OK to her joining the trip without really knowing her that well." I had a female friend, not extremely well known to me, who wanted to "start" with me once she learned of my plans. She began to change...

    Villatuerta to Villamayor

    I'm really enjoying your blog as well and just shared via Facebook. 33 days and counting! Your blog is a great resource for me as I plan my Camino :)

    I think I’m ready, but I have a couple of questions...

    Thank you! Do you use it directly on the skin or use the "cover all with the bandage" they send with it? I agree about waiting....when your feet cry out for help - DO NOT make them wait.

    I think I’m ready, but I have a couple of questions...

    Injinjis and a second wool sock have measurably reduced my blisters, however, I still get them. I'm shy of 5 weeks still I leave and am still trying different methods to prevent huge blisters (36 miles in 3 days and mostly ascents and I got a HUGE half dollar size one on my heel), changing...

    Fork in the road

    This kind of information is perfect. Thanks so much!
