    Sounds like a good idea. Buen Camino :-)

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    I have AT&T and refuse an iPhone

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    The Galaxy S3 cannot use iTunes, and that's how I would download the Divine Office and other podcasts

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    I had considered taking my Galaxy S3, but the exorbitantly high rates for data that I would be charged just didn't make any sense. I reasoned that the iPod Touch would be good as it can only be used on WiFi and I can get the Divine Office on a daily basis.

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    Well, I thought about bringing a netbook or a ChromeBook. However, that would be too much to worry about. So, the iPod Touch was a compromise. I also had the thought of taking a flash drive and a memory card reader...

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    I don't think I'd want an iPhone on the Camino (I feel the desire to unplug), but would take a very basic phone for calling ahead to pensions or calling 112. Just because I wouldn't take an iPhone, don't let that dictate what you take. I would take an iPod Touch as my means of communicating with...

    A packlist for your consideration

    Buen Camino! I was thinking about making a pilgrimage to Spain for the Camino de Santiago. I have a preliminary packing list that I would love some feedback on. I was thinking of going in May of whatever year i go. IMPORTANT U.S. Passport (book) Pilgrim’s Passports (Credential) in little ziploc...

    Journaling on the Camino

    I was thinking of picking up a couple of small notebooks for my Camino journal. The thought was to have a ziplock baggie in my backpack with my notebook, some airmail paper (letters home), a couple of pens, and stamps. I find that writing a journal while traveling helps aid in making sure those...

    Boots for wide feet

    A sign of perfection, eh? That makes me laugh :lol: ! If anyone has a model of boot they'd suggest for my predicament, I'd be very grateful. De Colores y Buen Camino 8) Wandering "with HUGE feet" Chirstian :arrow:

    Boots for wide feet

    The Camino provides! I was wondering about where can I get a decent pair of boots that will fit me?! To give you an idea- I wear US size 15 4E with high arches and a 2nd toe on my left foot that is longer than my big toe. Needless to say, finding "normal" footwear is a challenge. I joke...

    Charging IPhones or Kindles on the Camino

    One of the biggest advantages our tech toys have is that many charge by way of micro or mini USB. Example: my phone, bluetooth earpiece, bluetooth stereo headphones, iPod, Nook, headlamp battery pack (if i get the one i'm looking at from LL Bean). Having all these devices charge by mini USB...

    Used Equipment: Where to buy?

    Some things can be bought used; like a backpack, raincoat or walking stick. I'm a little wary of buying my clothes at Goodwill (return policy, defective clothes, standards of "clean"). Since I'm a bit on the "big and tall" side, I will purchase my entire kit new (especially the boots, WIDE...

    Is it crazy to bring a "nook"?

    Re: Is it crazy to bring a "nook"? Sometimes, a little reading is a BIG luxury. My reading will more than likely be on my flight (don't usually sleep on planes) or on the train from Paris to St. Jean. ¡Buen Camino, De Colores y ULTREYA!

    Long lasting Bar Soap?

    I've heard that a 7.5 oz bar of Aleppo 30% laurel in a mesh baggie is wonderful. I had originally planned on taking separate shampoo, conditioner, soap and shaving cream, but I'm looking to keep weight of my kit low (not to mention free of exploding Barbosol :oops: ). I have heard that the 30%...

    Is it crazy to bring a "nook"?

    Many thanks for this topic, Tristow :D I'm planning on making my Camino at some point in the next few years (gotta get the cash first) and I, to am an avid reader. I bought myself a Nook after Christmas and haven't regretted it yet. I LOVE :lol: how the battery lasts 60 days when the WiFi...
