    plantar fasciitis - with 7 weeks to go

    Some people have great success using the Strassburg sock. With 7 weeks to go, I'd try pretty much anything. I make sure to stretch my calves, both the soleus and the gastrocnemius and i never get out of bed without putting something on my feet to cushion them. Good luck!

    For those not on the Camino, where are you feeling called to right now?

    I was in 'The World of Maps' yesterday so have been called in so many directions! A walk in England, the Camino Frances, seriously a walk anywhere! 😁

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    I flew feom Amsterdam to Montreal on KLM last week. Schipol was everything one has heard lately. It took 2 1/2 hours to get through security and the gate for the flight changed five times. On a positive note, every staff I encountered was very polite and hard working.

    Gregory Zulu 40L as carry on.

    Hi. I recently flew KLM from Montreal to Amsterdam/Porto with a Gregory Jade 38 l bag. (Yes, it's a women's pack but useful for comparison.) No problem fitting it into the overhead bins and I was never questioned about the size. Good luck!

    Thanks for the information! We have already reserved an apartment in Porto for our first few days and the Fishtail in Matosinhos for our first night out. We thought that a short first day would be a good start. This trip was planned for Sep 2020 but...
