Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Hilarious, Rick, and so true. The British often add at least one or two additional letters to spell a word. Here's one that tickles my funny bone...programme.
Yeah. Even abbreviations. At Oxford the departments of mathematics and economics had a competition. The econ professors won and the maths professors lost.
 
Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Now there is great new way to get your hikers wool. On this site:
https://mykiwisheep.com/
you can adopt a Merino Sheep and then when your sheep is shorn they will process the fleece in any way that you want and then send it to you.
Be cautious. Peg and I once adopted a whale. We never got any wool.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
The whale too. I disappeared.

We may have been the ones fleeced.
Rick, where are you?
I have been fleeced several times by humans, but no whales took advantage of me. Maybe you should adopt a turtle next time.

Hey, you could help fund Turga's next Camino! His lodging costs are exorbitant..he a very slow walker.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
This one should be right up Rick's (and Turga's) alley. They are Mathematics extrordinaire...no offence BB. Not sure about Peter and NYC...def not up my alley.

Chris gave me a tour of the bus she used to live on in her hippie days and said it would be okay for me to make a video showing it off. Peg and I decided to upgrade from our teardrop if we could order a 60 foot version with front and rear phasers to handle slowpokes and tailgaters.
 
NYC, I'm sorry. I just discovered on the news that you just missed making the Olympic snow boarding team. We'll be watching for you though when the TV cameras scan the Superbowl stadium seats in LA. If you see them panning your way wave your board.

This "motorhome" is closer to the one I lived in 1977-1980 except ours was the "deluxe model" as it was longer. We brush painted it white with two racing stripes in brown and rust which were popular colors at the time.

Just incognito.

Sometimes there is a giggle in the most unexpected places.
This evening I was watching Channel 4 in the UK and there was a report on inflation and the subsequent rise in household shopping and food prices.
We have a supermarket chain called "Iceland" and they interviewed the Managing Director. (Iceland specialises largely in freezer products).
When questioned on what efforts the firm was doing to assist their customers the Managing Director responded by saying...and without any hint of irony or smile.
"On many products we are freezing prices".

Sure wish I could think of a good pun to keep this on topic, BB, but I got nuthin'.
I thought Iceland was only an island...I learn new things on the forum almost every day.

I had to chuckle as well on reading the link and opening "controversies".
It appears Iceland (the country) took exception to the Supermarkets name.
During the spat that went through the courts they bought up the fact that the Supermarket has only existed in recent times and Iceland (the country) had existed since the 800's.
That rather shocked me....the decor of the supermarket made me think it was older than the country.
 
I had a cartoon incident happen to me about an hour ago. I slipped on a banana peel while carrying a six pack of expensive imported beer in bottles and two boxed wines. We are all okay as I managed not to fall and not to drop anything. I was walking between two cars in an asphalt parking lot and the peel had turned black from our sub-freezing weather so it was invisible.

Imagine the slickest ice you ever stepped on and then imagine spraying a can of WD-40 on it.

But who trademarked the name first? Come to think of it I've never seen a sentence like "Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland™."

Yes it is, and I've seen it before when my sister vacationed in Iceland. What is so funny? Must be "over my head"...nothing new there.

Thank goodness the beer was safe Rick.
