Packing

This is the list from our 1st Camino.  We're making a few changes - a few extra hiking shirts, no sleeping bags, extra socks and liners, iPad is coming for sure.  We can take a few extra items on this trip because we are having our luggage transported.  Our pack will have rain gear, warm jacket, hat and gloves, extra pair of socks and snacks.  We will try to keep day pack under 8 pounds.  

What's in Our Backpacks/Bag

We both have similar and in some instances identical gear that we have picked up over the years.  Some things from our Colorado days - well used but still functional, and some newer buys that we used in Scotland and Peru, and a few new items for this trip.  Clothing is light weight and quick drying - no cotton, no denim.  We will be wearing hiking pants and hiking shirt on flight to Paris, our spare pair of pants is in the backpack.
