I have arrived at SJPP...

[Carrinfa]

I have everything ready to go, just got my stamp; one more night here and off on Thursday; just wondering if there's anyone else starting on Thursday? I'm going to head to Orrison, weather permitting. I am finally here and about to start... This has been a long time coming Oh my goodness how humbling this all is...

 

[WildPlace]

Hope you have an amazing walk

Buen camino!

 

[jumpingin2014]

I am very excited for you Carrinfa .......... enjoy the journey and let us know how you make out!

 

[mspath]

Carrinfa,

Tonight you must be VERY excited!


As Sir Walter Raleigh wrote in the 16th century in His Pilgrimage

"GIVE me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope's true guage;
And thus I'll take my pilgrimage...."

Have a wonderful Camino!
May all your dreams and planning come true.

It looks like you will have some rain on your first three days.. so it's not ideal.

But if you have the right gear, you are prepared!

How exciting it must be to finally be getting underway. I am happy for you, and looking forward to setting off myself in 18 weeks - not that I'm counting. Buen Camino!

You're doing well. Obviously you are someone really really special as Mother Nature and her whole family came out to welcome you in full force as you went over! That will be a vivid memory.

I hope you were prepared for anything ! I'm sure a lot of forum members waiting in the wings are glad it's blown thru before they start though.

Hoping for some gentler weather for you
Buen camino
Annie

Ps I had a little giggle when I read a post above calling you 'HalfDome'. Conjured up an image of a balding man.
There are some very interesting titles on the forum. Lol.

 

[Erin]

Carrinfa, I will be in your position in 3 weeks approximately! I have not been nervous until now, but it is a nervous excitement! Buen camino!
