Tag Archives: Practical info – I think I’ve finally realized that Bruno and I are unreliable plan-makers. Actually, let me rephrase that: You can absolutely depend upon us to make – and then change – our plans. Here’s the story of why we could be spotted last month speeding up the Mediterranean Coast of Spain instead of sipping sangria and chillin’ on the beach.  Less than a year after taking a ferry OUT of Africa, we’ve taken one back INTO Africa. In this post, I describe my concerns leading up to our departure, the ins and outs of the ferry from Spain to Morocco (including costs and a recommended shipping agent), and what it feels like to be back again in Africa, our favorite continent.  The continuing saga of our Camino de Santiago, including an update on the blister situation and a few new challenges. Included in this blog post is an explanation of why we stopped walking, afterthoughts on the journey, and whether or not we recommend walking the Camino. There are also a few practical tips for those preparing to become pilgrims, like useful websites, packing tips, dealing with albergues, and designing realistic daily steps.  Bruno and I embarked on an unusual adventure for us: we became walking pilgrims on the ancient and infamous Camino de Santiago. In this blog post, learn about what the Camino is, why we decided to take the journey, how we prepared, and how we packed.  What if you get sick? What if your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere? Aren’t you scared of traveling in X country? Do you buy travel health insurance? Do you take anti-malarial prophylactics? In this blog post about health and safety, we answer all these questions and more. Read on and get ready to cast your worries aside! |
