<DIV>A flashlight is very handy in the Alburgue early in the morning and also if you start out much before dawn. .Just a small pen sized one worked well for me. </DIV>
<DIV>I checked a disposable bag on the plane to hold all metal objects so they would not be taken from me. </DIV>
<DIV>I did not use iodine tablets, I drank from fountains and had no problem. People have, however, mentioned problems in books I have read. You can buy small bottles of water all along the way if you reach a place where you are nervous about the local water.</DIV>
