    Crazy question regarding clothes washing

    Urea is the key component that heals. If you check out many creams for healing dry or broken down hands, you will see one of the ingredients is urea. Ammonia is a by product of the breakdown of urea. I worked in the neonatal intensive care unit for many years, and we washed our hands between...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    I'm hoping you know the answer to my question from your experience. When you put the new SIM card in your phone, are your apps still there. I don't understand if they are stored on the the memory in the phone or on the SIM card. I know I can send some apps to the phone, and wonder whether I...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Some people have bought one on line here, but I'm going to the Orange store in Pamplona, and get one there. That's my plan anyway. I'm not sure there's much benefit to buying one here on line.

    Pack weights: I just measured it

    Xin Loi, you are a character! I have read many of your posts on different threads, and I never quite know when to take you seriously and when to just smile and nod. Often I find myself tilting my head to the side and saying, "Hmmmm, now there is one interesting character."

    Is This a Reasonable Packing List (Spreadsheet / Panicking)

    Hugh, I didn't see a rain poncho or coat. Perhaps you're thinking about getting one when you get there. Just thought I would mention it, if you had overlooked it.

    Pack weights: I just measured it

    xinloi, when you weigh your pack, I'd be interested to know what it weighs and what you packing list includes. Would you post those? I know you'll be leaving soon, so I'm curious about what you decide to take and what you decide to leave behind. Thanks!

    Sleeping Bags

    You could use a travel sheet or a silk sleep sack. It really depends when you're walking. Some albergues do have blankets and some don't. There are never any guarantees about bed bugs. I wish there were. Most people say the blankets appear clean, although they are not washed daily. Use...

    panicking today!!!

    Ronnie, there's Gerendiain at 12 km. They have a hotel called Corazon Puro which costs 18E, and a hotel called La Posada Nueve which costs 35E. (These prices may have changed, and I have no personal expeience with either.) This information comes from my guidebook, the Dintaman and Landis.

    panicking today!!!

    Hey Ronnie, Sounds like you've done pretty well with your pack. Are you wearing some of the clothes you mentioned or are those beyond what you're wearing? If that is the case, you might be able to cut back there slightly. Also, some people use the same soap that they use for showering, for...

    panicking today!!!

    Hey Bumblebee, Take a few deep breaths, really deep and really slow. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and insight into your own challenges. You say you wanted to work on going with the flow on the Camino and it sounds like you're being confronted with it already. You're...
