I don't leave for a month and a half but since I'll be quite busy right up till I leave I'm trying to get all my questions answered early. So here are a few:
1. I plan on keeping my pack as a carry-on on my flights, so I'm limited on being able to take certain items. Is it easy to by toiletry items such as shampoo. sunscreen, etc, as well as a small knife in SJPP?
2. To take a walking stick ot not? (not worried about footing, just dogs...)
3. I have both the Confraternity guide and the guide by Davies/Cole. Both are very good in different areas. The CSJ guide has lots of info on each town, refuge, but the cole/Davies guide has more maps and info on actually finding your way and highlights of the route. Should I take both or which one?
4. Is a poncho sufficient for wet weather?
5. How do other pilgrims deal with carrying valubles/important things (credit cards, airline tickets, passports and camera?) both on trail and around town if you leave your pack at the refugio.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks!
