Thanks! I need this kind of realism from experienced pilgrims.JohnnieWalker said:Luka said:I imagine myself in the evenings typing my stories on my bunkbed. My notebook being my companion along the way.

jl said:Hi, Like I said previously - I am technologically illiterate! What is a "Zoom"? The reason that I am thinking what I am is that I am planning to be on the road for 12 months (assuming I can sort out a visa) and so although the weight is important, I have to weigh up all the other factors too.
My reason for an MP3 was that I could use it with voice recognition software. I like the written word, and it was my intention to use the spoken word as a means of making the written word a little easier in terms of time and detail etc. Cheers, Janet

Or, you can just not worry about it....if it gets stolen, make sure you've been backing it up to a Dropbox account online, that way your stuff is backed up somewhere else. My whole attitude when I was on the Camino and the rest of my RTW trip was that if something got stolen, then it got stolen. I didn't invite trouble and kept my stuff locked up, stayed in places I felt safe, etc.

With nowadays high prices of image-tanks (or aren't they for sale anymore?) and low prices of memory-cards:tiagorosado said:I did the Camino last Summer 2010
What we missed was a portable hardrive with card's reader just to download pics from the cards.
