On the Cons:
You do not have to get blisters.
Use leave no trace principles for the bathroom in the woods. There are plenty of bars and restaurants with toilets, too.
Shower stalls are private even in shared facilities. The sleeping is less so! There are private rooms.
Dogs are not a problem. No business owner will let his dog get between him and your wallet!
Light a candle and say a prayer at St. James tomb (he was a Jew, too).
What are your recommendations for not getting blisters.
