It was just dumb not to take my walking shoes. I actually always carry that kind of cold pack with me, so I had a couple in my suitcase. At the hotel room, I just used ice from their machine. Didn't think about taking one into the park to use during a meal; that would've been a good idea.<br /><br />And I did have a great time! I love being there, which manages a lot of discomfort. Still, very glad today was only 4 hours for us.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-13735512071816537262009-11-08T16:43:10.764-08:002009-11-08T16:43:10.764-08:00I agree about the Body Glide to avoid blisters, lo...I agree about the Body Glide to avoid blisters, lots of runners I know use it all over their feet. Plus I like the double layer thin socks to avoid blisters. hadn't heard about the instant-cold packs, but they sound cool (ha ha) too!<br /><br />I remember last time I was at Disney World, Epcot Center, we walked around all day and my feet were killing me by midnight...I didn't know HOW people went back out the next day, I was grateful we were going home!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-41125459910276922732009-11-08T10:18:58.759-08:002009-11-08T10:18:58.759-08:00Elayne's right, the right shoes make all the d...Elayne's right, the right shoes make all the difference. And the kind of exercise you have been getting is NOT the same as walking around the park broken up by standing in lines.<br /><br />A tip for future reference, get some smallish instant-cold packs. There are both single-use, throw-it-away-when-done kinds and the multi-use kind ($$$). It stays at ambient temperature till you break a capsule or snap a clicker, then they are icy-cold for about a half-hour. Throw a couple in your backpack/camera bag so you can ice your knee at lunch and dinner. <br /><br />I'm SO glad you are managing to have tons o' fun despite owies.stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247975595586748410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-94760045124558512009-11-08T06:06:05.931-08:002009-11-08T06:06:05.931-08:00The right shoes make all the difference.

And not that it helps you now but for future reference, Body Glide on your feet is a great way to prevent blisters: http://www.rei.com/gear/feature/search/Google/Bodyglide?cm_mmc=ps_google_CH-_-Category%20-%20Camp%2fHike-_-Camping%2fHiking_Brand_Bodyglide-_-body%20glide&mr:adGroup=1105092545&mr:ad=3312745475&mr:keyword=body%20glide&mr:referralID=NA&gclid=CKiZsfLH-50CFQYMDQodZSuCpg<br />I use it all the time for long hikes.<br /><br />Aquaphor works well too but it's a bit messier. It's better for situations where your feet are going to be wet like if you're going to be out in the rain or you're hiking through a lot of streams.<br /><br />Sounds like a fun trip anyway despite the knee and foot maladies.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.com
