Some people do take a special bed bug sheet to cover the bed with.
The best shoes are my running shoes. Will these hold up? Should I keep looking for better xtrainers or boots?
The bed bug sheet is just a rectangle of fine mesh impregnated with an insecticide (Permethrin)
We walked in September 2007, which included meeting Hurricane Charles hitting as we left O Cebreiro
We did the Sarria-Santiago portion of the CF in September 2006, too. We left Santiago the day Gordon hit. All the flights to Madrid were cancelled, so while stuck at the airport we did some quick calculations and rented a van, then drove all the way from Santiago to Madrid instead. It was fun, actually... nice change of pace.Ulysse said:Jerry,

On September 21, 2006 ( :wink: ) to be precise.
Hurricane Gordon, I believe, was the reason why the albergue on O Cebreiro shook on its foundations. I also left on that miserable morning... thought I was going to fly all the way back to France.
Stefanie,
I wore: Merrell Mesa Ventilator and my town/shower shoes were Crocks. My wife wore Women's Saucony Grid Trigons – and her town/shower shoes were OP (Ocean Pacific) Sandals. A friend wore Vasque hiking boots. None of us had any foot problems, we took breaks where we took our shoes and socks off and massaged our feet every hour or so. Get something comfortable and break them in, is most important.
For a pack mine was 44 L and my wifes was 40 L (weighing in at 2 lb 12 oz.). My total carry weight was 20 Lbs. including her pillow and hers total weight was 15 lbs. Both packs were from REI and were Lookout models. ($80). They had outside pockets and three compartments. I am going to have mine bronzed. . .
The biggest thing in our pack was our fleece sleeping bag liners (about 2lbs and $10 U.S.). We also had silk sleep sacks, about 12 oz and $50.
