    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    Updates for John Brierley's Camino Guide App for Smartphones can be found here: http://www.mobilemonday.hu/wp-content/uploads/eCamino.pdf "Coming Soon" Hope this helps. ...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    I found a great converter for EU, from "Walkabout Travel Gear": http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com I have two [2] as one [1] is a back-up. The "Walkabout Solution" weighs 4.0 oz. / .116kg and is a much better option because it has a USB port and various fold-inside prongs for Spain, Britain...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    This is a great charger: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTXA578/?tag=casaivar02-20 And, this Fuji camera is the most light-weight [ 5.5 oz. / 160g ] that takes two [2] AA batteries that do not recharge [ but you can replace along The Way ]...

    Tablet, smart phone, paperback, or nothing

    I, personally, love the Brierley book because it is very detailed, colorful, easy to read and a nice dimension for pocketing - but it is HEAVY. [ 11 oz. or 311g ] Gerald Kelly's book is LIGHTER, but is all black and white, not as easy to view. [ 7 oz. or 198g ] And, Robert Hamilton's guide...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thank you Bajaracer! That's even a better idea that I had not considered. It's a GREAT idea. I don't know if I can still use my cell phone with it being "un-lock" but I would like to be able to call Corazon Puro so I can let them know when I arrive at the Pamplona bus station to let them know I...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thanks! Think I will try to contact Crystal Media Shop in Madrid-Barajas Airport [ if I can find their email address ] and ask if they carry a SIM card for my phone, GS4, and if they do, just purchase it there in Terminal T-4 [ they are on YouTube ]. Keep the comments coming, please. In the...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Sprint says I can not purchase a SIM that would work in Spain until I get there. Did you purchase one for Spain here? Thanks, Noah

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thank you! Could you please share how you purchased it? Where? Thanks again! Noah

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thank you Jeniffer! Where did you purchase the "movistar pre-paid SIM"? I contacted the Chrystal Media Shop [ in terminal T and boarding area B ] and waiting to hear back from them about their SIM cards. I like the idea of a pre-paid service. I have two [2] cell phones. One from NET10...

    Waterproofs?

    Great idea! I have sturdy but light-weight chaps [ that zip half-way down to get over my water-proof Merrill Moabs ] that strap to my belt and snap. Over this I have a light-weight rip-stop poncho that has a lot of room to breathe on the sides. Will have to use a para cord belt around it to...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Thank you Bajaracer! Just what I had hoped for in an answer. Here is the link for Crystal Media Shop inside Barajas Airport: http://www.aena-aeropuertos.es/csee/Satellite/Aeropuerto-Madrid-Barajas/en/LTDA_FA/1237552909270/1237552878791/Crystal-Media-Shop.html?other=1237552882175 The shop is at...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Hi Lynne. Do you happen to know how far those places are from the airport? Not sure if you would know but figure it wouldn't hurt to ask. You would still think that these companies would realize that it would be very profitable to sell them from a kiosk at the airport. Some folks need to go...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    That's a great question regarding the APPS and if they need to be re-downloaded if you exchange the SIM card. There must be an easier way to do this. In movies, people just jump on the plane and use the same phone. The magic of movies! If anyone can let me know their [ updated ] experience...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Did you purchase your SIM card before you left? Do they just charge your credit card? How do you keep a balance? By pre-paying like a NET10 phone? Still new in that this will be my first pilgrimage or in Europe long enough to need a cellphone or data services. Will check the site you listed...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Somehow, I could not get the link to work for Rebelfone. I have a Sprint Galaxy S 4 that I would like to take with me for texting back to the U.S. While in Japan, they had "internet cafes" everywhere. Does the Camino Frances have them? I don't want to take my computer but I would like to, on...

    Which Osprey backpack?

    Hi Boumeester. I may be too late with my response since you posted this in February but I purchased an Osprey Aether 60 and I love it. It has everything I need and I love not hanging bedroll and sleeping bag on the OUTSIDE like so many do. I researched backpacks and tried on many of them and...

    Camino Buff - You know you want one!

    Amen to that WalkCWalk! Hope to cross paths with you on Camino. Do you have a firm date yet? Now that I've seen the video [ which is GREAT and entertaining ], I am looking forward to getting a couple of them. I am very grateful for LTfit's efforts to get them for as many folks who would like...

    Camino Buff - You know you want one!

    Thanks to all who helped me to understand what is a "buff" [ especially Pilgrim B ]. Now that I've seen the video, I ordered through PayPal two [2] separate orders [ you can not change the quantities ] for the same address. Someone asked me on Camino Marketplace what a buff is and I answered [...

    Camino Buff - You know you want one!

    Could you provide instructions how to place an order for two [2] of the Camino Buffs? Now that I know what a buff is, I would love to have two [2] of them. I am departing for my Camino from Indianapolis on 9 SEP 14. Thanks! Noah
