The day before the day before

Tomorrow I leave home, though I won’t be flying out until the day after. Every last bit of packing has to be done by the time I walk out the door tomorrow – eek!

I know I will forget something, I just hope it won’t be my mobile charger lead, because it’s different than my old one. But so far I have, in no particular order:

Sprayed my pack and sleeping bag with permethrin
Played about with my visual packing list and made my pack lighter
Done the final laundry so everything is nice and clean
Placed two S karabiners in the hipbelt pockets so I can clip my shoes together in the albergue, to stop anyone taking the wrong pair off the shelf in the morning
Packed a spare pair of insoles in case/for when my non-goretex shoes get soaking wet – with dry insoles and socks I’ll be fine
Put my reflective slap bands in my sidebag for added security when walking by roads
Unsubscribed to email newsletters etc to save data in Spain
Tightly rolled up some toilet paper and packed a dog poop bag for emergencies – it could happen to you or anyone you walk with at any time, and we don’t like leaving things behind, do we?
Checked that there are absolutely no creams, liquids or even fish oil capsules anywhere but in the ziplock bag for going through security!
Checked in online for my flights and printed out my bus ticket
Checked the long term weather forecast on yr.no for a few of the places I will be passing through on the relevant dates, and delightedly decided to leave the rain trousers at home
Double checked that I am taking the right and most recent guidebook!
Printed out my address label to stick on my poles when I post them back from Santiago (much cheaper than checking them in)
Transferred one debit and one credit card plus last year’s leftover euros to my small camino purse/wallet
Put everything I need to wear for the journey there in my packable bag, ready to go in the morning
