    Sticks or no sticks, that is the question

    As you can see, the opinions on this question are all over the place. I think your age, weight and fitness level are all important variables. I'd say that if you are 45 or older and carrying some extra weight, then definitely take poles to take pressure off of your knees on descents. There...

    hello from the camino

    recharging portable devices

    I have looked in vain online for double adapters which allow you to plug in a couple to things into one outlet. Since I'm an American, I'm looking for the US-European version. Since sockets are at a preium, this seems like such a great idea. Does anyone have a link? Janet

    Prepayment of lodging in this Holy Year 2010

    I have worked with a Camino guide to get reservations for lodging, since I'm not planning on staying in refugios. Understandably, some require prepayment. This becomes difficult when they don't take credit cards, I am reluctant to do bank transfers, and I'm wondering how Pay Pal could become...
