#caminos#chemin#Spain
Now we are fine tuning our itinerary (will be subject of another post) ... I am making final to do lists, doing imaginary packing and unpacking and then making another to do list, just to be sure I haven't forgotten anything.
Since we are going to be moving almost everyday for the two weeks during my "Walk", I have had to think of some extra necessities.
This week, quite a bit was accomplished ...
Monsieur Honey found me the perfect backpack (not too heavy or too big) just right for extra socks, my second pair of walking shoes, my water bottle, my camera, raincoat in a pouch, a toiletry bag of sunscreen, lip balm, blister stick, band aids, etc. and if I wanted to it has a padded slot for a laptop/ iPad but I won't be doing that for this trek ... a notepad and pen for my thoughts instead.
Bonus ... a compass toggle as a zipper pull ...
Do you think Monsiuer Honey is worried I will get lost?
Luckily, we don't have to carry everything "in our packs on our backs"....
Thanks to our dear partners who will be driving the "Chase Car" and moving our luggage from one hotel/village to the next.
Yesterday, we made a quick trip to the city with one of my "To Do Lists" in hand.
I felt very accomplished when we finished our shopping and I was able to cross off a number of items...
I found my favoured women's socks by Fox River at the MEC Mountain Exchange Cooperative.
What a wonderful store for an active lifestyle!
Plenty of research was done on the internet, reading reviews and recommendations to find the perfect fitting, cushioned, non blister causing socks for long distance walking/ trekking.
Eureka! I think these will be the ones ...
I have been a bit of a sock hoarder over the past few months, purchasing various pairs to pamper and treat my feet because they will have to be my best friends while we are walking the Caminos in Spain.
Oh how I long to walk "les chemins" in France and "el caminos" in Spain!
