    Clothes lines

    Like Annie, I carry a braided cord that has velcro loops on the ends. When I am fortunate enough to get a lower bunk and it happens to be raining, will hang it on the wires/slats from the upper bunk for underwear and socks that need to hang overnight to dry. It's light enough to carry, whether I...

    Mid/Low Hiking Boots

    Hola Sonja! Just back from the Primitivo (you are going to LOVE it!!) with my sister. She wore lows and I wore mids and we both did fine (better than fine...neither one of us had blisters, foot issues...) So, it really is a matter of which ones you feel more comfortable in. We walked the...

    Backpack in airline holds

    Hola! I have checked my pack twice now and not had problems traveling from the US. I put it in an Osprey Airporter along with my poles, swiss army knife, etc. After I watch it disappear on the belt at check in, I just let go let go let go and trust all will be well, that ALL IS WELL! ( A BIG...

    Nightwear

    A soft, comfy pair of leggings helped my tired legs relax at night and I wore them as needed during the day . In addition, after showering for the day, I slipped into a cami for dinner and walks around town and slept comfortably in it. On my second camino, I brought a lightweight black dress...

    Sleeping bag/blanket

    Hola! On my second Camino in May I ditched my sleep sack for a lighter option-a great liner called The Friendly Swede. With an occasional "manta" from the albergue, I got by just fine. On chillier, damper nights I wore my fleece jacket. Planning to walk the Norte in September and not planning on...

    Wearing Your Camino Boots On Airplane

    Gerhard, Like the others, wear my boots on the plane and then pop them off as soon as I get settled. It's stocking feet for most of the flight! Buen Camino y ultreya!
