Home is the US, and I’ve usually had a couple days after a Camino to toodle around Madrid. I figure I’d know then if I had bedbugs and would treat my stuff before carrying it on the flights home…Never had bedbugs as pilgrim or hospi…but appreciate the suggestions for treating them. I dump my bag of clothing in the washer and start the load, my backpack and shoes (sneakers) in the washing sink, start the soak there, and head indoors to the shower and bed. After everything is clean and dry (and rested), the pack remains accessible for local hikes and other long distance travel. Year round, I wear the clothes I bring on pilgrimage, and use most of the items (quilt, liner, even headlamp!) so very little gets “put away till next time.” The only electronic is my cell phone; I’ve used a SIM card while overseas so on the overseas flight I carefully replace SIM cards. (Note: I keep the US card taped to the inside of my passport while walking Caminos.) Other items specific to Camino that won’t be used (adapter, poncho, extra sheep’s wool, etc) go in a smallish box in my closet. Periodically I pull out the box and look through things and dream…(c’mon, you KNOW I’m not the only one who does that!)…which is of course the most important aspect of the post-Camino routine…
