This is good to know. Thank you. I can just keep the tips in my bag.poles in an area near where one leaves one's boots/walking shoes.
I'm not sure why you would do this. Normally you leave the tips on your poles, which are placed with other poles at the albergue entrance. If the tips are dirty and you need to bring them inside or pack them, you would just wash them off or place a plastic bag over the ends, or put them on the floor under your bed. Are the gloves bulky items? I just carry very light liner gloves for warmth, and keep them in a pouch on the backpack.I can just keep the tips in my bag.
Birkenstock makes very light plastic sandals with its traditional arch support.The 2nd pr are heavy, but I need arch support in case I have to wear them a day or two on the trail.
You get the floors wet, it's all good. Don't worry about such details.Pack dry weight is now 11 lbs 4 oz. Not counting poles. Progress
Question about showers and my pedi socks. If your shower shoes are wet and you don't want to track water all over the floors .. what do you do? My idea was to put on the little socks and not get the floors of the dorm / common area wet.
Sorry, I didn't explain well. There are two sets of tips, one for dirt/rock/mud and one for pavement/sidewalks. They are exchangeable for different uses.Normally you leave the tips on your poles,
Ok.You get the floors wet, it's all good.
Dry your feet and put on the regular socks you are planning to wear around.If your shower shoes are wet and you don't want to track water all over the floors .. what do you do?
The same simplification principle applies to pole tips. I have walked 5 caminos and always used plain rubber tip protectors like these (they are a bit over an inch in diameter) for all terrain. The protectors are mainly to reduce the click-clack noise. There really is no need to fuss about changing them, as you would often have to switch them every 10 minutes. If the rubber protectors that you find don't fit tightly, use some duct tape around the pole first to make them fit better.Sorry, I didn't explain well.

Thanks. The rubber tips came on the poles, so I will just leave them on.Dry your feet and put on the regular socks you are planning to wear around.
I find that simplifying stuff is better, so you don't have to think about so many different items.

Is there any issue with airport security in the plastic bags?I pack mine in tiny plastic bags with prescription label, doesn't weigh much.
There shouldn't be, unless they liquids or gels exceeding the allowed container size.Is there any issue with airport security in the plastic bags?
Not even, the liquid regulations don't apply to meds. And they don't care if they come is blister packs, plastic bottles, plastic bags. Just bring the lable the pharmacy puts on the packaging.There shouldn't be, unless they liquids or gels exceeding the allowed container size.
Well ... the caftan is very light weight and can pin up in the center to make shorts or mid-high pants.are you taking shorts or something as a substitute for shorts?
No, airport security relates to liquids.Is there any issue with airport security in the plastic bags?
I wish that was beach weather right now. I start walking to Finisterre tomorrow, and I'd love to swim, but I think that it will be too cold.Hola Jo!
I didn't notice in your list, but are you taking shorts or something as a substitute for shorts? In September it's still beach weather here in Galicia, and even though you won't reach Galicia until October(?) it *may* still be quite warm across the country at least until mid or late September. I like bringing travel or mesh shorts along, for walking but also especially for after showering as they help me keep cooling down.
It will be a beautiful time to walk.
Enjoy all the packing!

A word of caution: Whatever one uses for an eye mask, it should not be in direct contact with the eyelid. During REM sleep the eyes move under the lids, and during light sleep they may open a bit.Can you ditch the mask and just use the buff as an eye mask? I'm thinking about ordering one, specifically to use it for warmth AND as a mask.
I just wore my boxerbrief underwear and the t-shirt I was walking in the next day. All I had to do in the morning was thrown on my hiking skirt and put on my light weight ExOfficio crossover bra. Done. My husband and our male friend just wore a pair of light weight running shorts and t-shirt. Some women wore light leggings, but I didn't take any leggings because it was too hot to walk in them in May. So they didn't serve a purpose for me. Most women just wore underwear.I'm packing 2 sets of hiking pants & tshirt, plus the set in wearing to start the trip. All packing list for the Camino are minimal for good reason but i never noticed anyone mentioning pajama wear?
Any thoughts? I don't want to bring anything more than I have to would love to hear from you guys.
Thanks Gem

Why yes I amThank you alaskadiver!!! p.s. are you a scuba diver too? I am also
I should add that I had the black, ExOfficio long boxerbriefs. They looked like tight shorts. My REI t-shirts were long so they fell over the top of my bumIt doesn't sound excessive to me. Don't forget the weight of water.
I would ditch the tupperware, baggies and spork personally, unless you have an allergy and need special food.
I think you will boil in a caftan. Most everyone else will be in sportswear, it isn't an Ibiza vibe on the camino really. You could take a cute little top for the evenings.
@Gemajams if you wear boy-short panties like Pure Lime, you can climb up into a bunk with confidence! With next day's t shirt like @alaskadiver says. It would look weird to wear pyjamas in fact.
yes, thanksWhy yes I amYou a Jersey diver?
Hubby and I grew up in Hudson County.
