    Hiking poles (please bear with me) need honest advice.

    I was SO glad that I had hiking poles. I'd never used them before in walking/hiking. During my Camino Frances, about my day 20, I had the fun surprise of developing some tendonitis in one foot. OMG I was glad to have the help of the poles (and ibuprofen). I learned that when I do the Caminho...

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    Thank you. We are thinking now that the telestial might be the easiest way for us to go. We appreciate your help, and also all the other information that other peregrinos have offered to us. Ultreya! Kathleen

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    Thank you for your reply. Wish we had an iPhone. . . currently basic LG models from Verizon (with no int'l capability), and cannot upgrade until April. We very much appreciate your information. Ultreya! Kathleen

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    Hi and thanks. Currently, we have phones with Verizon which are not unlocked. Along with getting ready for our Camino (the end of next month), shopping for the perfect phone and re-doing our contract with Verizon seems to be something we can delay until after our Camino. We were just thinking...

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    Laurie, Thanks. On the phone you bought about 8 years ago in Spain, the one you continue to reload, do you get a US number on it for your relatives to call in an emergency? That one I was asking about has a US number so when -- if -- our relatives need to contact us, they will pay .30...

    Has anyone used (or plans to use) this phone?

    We are considering a National Geographic 'Lite' Phone through Cellular Abroad. Another name for it is the Blu deejay lite phone. It's very, very basic. The phone itself is $59.00 plus you buy an amount of time to use. We also can set up an automatic re-load of time (using our credit card)...

    List your shoes

    Will be walking the end of September. Have Brooks Adrenaline ASR goretex trail shoes, liner socks and smartwool mid-weight hiking socks. On the http://www.brooksrunning.com site, there's quite a bit of help, I thought, so when going to the store, I felt "more educated" about my pronation, and...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    Good suggestions! We've got the duck tape handled. And the multi tool, big nappy pins, floss/needle, etc. But what exactly is a 550 paraccord? Like a bungee? and where does one get this in the US? Ultreya! Kathleen

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    Great tip. Thanks! We've been talking about what to bring, and neither of us thought about the Kindle! What a perfect solution. Ultreya! Kathleen

    Get your ALTUS in SJPP - Order Ahead

    Thanks. We will tell him hello from you. About poles. . . we really like our Redfeather trekking poles, and would be sad if they were taken away from us in security. We didn't purchase the Pacerpoles because we thought we'd try these first. Maybe we can figure out a way to pack a small bag...

    Get your ALTUS in SJPP - Order Ahead

    I emailed Pierre and he has 2 Altus Ponchos held for us until we get to SJPP for our projected Sept. 26 arrival (we haven't yet booked our flights). :) This is SO wonderful, because on the Barrabes.com site, there are no S/M available (I don't want a L/XL like my husband Ross), plus we'd...
