    External Chargers on Airplanes

    I travel domestically and internationally with my power packs in my carry-on luggage and have never had a problem. Lithium batteries are generally not allowed in the checked baggage.

    A gentleman's undercarriage question regarding chafing......

    Spread some BodyGlide around the area. Works great! Chamois Butt'r (for bicycling) also works very well!

    Vaseline...or Vicks VapoRub?

    BodyGlide and thin liners such as Injinjis are best for blister prevention IMHO.

    My Pack Is Too Heavy: Woe Is Me!

    When my wife and I were young we could travel Europe for two weeks with backpacks. Now she "has to have" a suitcase for a weekend.

    Blister defense

    There is a difference between Injinji liners and socks. You can wear the socks alone but the liners are very thin and probably would not offer much blister protection on their own. If your feet get too hot a lot then consider the shoes/boots may be part of the problem.

    So tell me what's wrong with this phone idea

    Project Fi from Google is a very good deal IMO.

    Washing socks with Vaseline buildup

    Consider Bodyglide - not greasy at all, along with some thin liner socks like Injinjis. Never had a blister and socks wash well in the sink.

    Spanish SIM card or AT&T World Call Rates - Which is best?

    I got a Vodaphone SIM card that I put in my Nokia and was able to call back to the USA after 8 PM for 18 cents/minute. Great deal!

    Advice on mobile phones

    I used a Vodaphone in Spain. Service was excellent throughout. They also had a special deal where I could call to the US after 8 PM for only about 18 cents a minute. Worked out very well for me.

    Mens convertible trousers

    Sierra Trading Post (SierraTradingPost.com) has been a good source of discounted outdoor travel gear. I have a couple pairs of pants as you describe from them. Also, REI.com another good source.

    Liner Socks

    Injinji liners are definitely worth the trouble to put them on - even in the dark :-)
