Pre packing for my flight home in the morning and listing what items were never used even once. Not a big list! 1. Gaiters only because I was a few days ahead of the torrential rains and mud. But yes it rained. 2. Spork that I didn't take last time. Gave away my yogurts to hungry pilgrims, 3. Anything from my first aid kit, not a blister this trip too!

Item I bought and shared that was enjoyed by others I met? A sleeve of cookies with chocolate cream centers at a beautiful covered rest stop (in the rain). People will stop if you wave cookies or oranges at them

Next time: no camera as I will have upgraded to what will probably be an iPhone 7 by then. Maybe no iPad mini. With the weight savings I will bring titanium cup, immersion heater, a Melita set up and 3 pounds of coffee grounds. (Or will make up a few dozen coffee t-bag things. No SB Via for me, I can't stand SB coffee)
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Coffee in Spain is excellent. Seem like a lot of extra trouble (and weight).
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Three pounds of coffee grounds for a week is what I call dedicated!!!
It's what I call barely enough! And I bet I'd have Americans standing in line.
