Portugal and Spain: 10 Days, 1 Bag, and 1 Tip

Just spent 10 days traveling  and hiking in Portugal and Spain. So many times I was glad to have my bag on my back and not rolling a noisy suitcase down cobbled streets and up and down stairs. Dodged lots of slow-as-heck escalators and used stairs....really love my E-bag.

Here's my one tip from this journey..and it's really important if you've got a sensitive nose. If you've read the book, you know I travel with very little extra clothing, so I do frequent in-room laundry using a dry sack and real detergent (not shampoo). I grabbed Gain brand powder on my way out of town, packed it in a zip bag and man that stuff smells strong. Really don't want that smell infiltrating my coffee or dry milk. So my take-away: next time purchase some scent-free detergent.
