Just curious if the various hostels and internet points along the trail are setup for Skype (in particular, do they have a headset)?

I wouldn't count on anyone having the stuff for skype. You can run the software from a thumb drive and carry a small headset. Instructions for thumb drives (http://www.amperordirect.com/pc/r-skype-voip/z-reference-skype-on-a-stick.html)

I have Skype and you will not need it for the trail. Leave the headset at home.
