    Worried I won't end up with a "Camino Family"

    Trish, don't worry about distances and acquiring a Camino family. The Camino will provide. Take your time and smell the roses, it's a wonderful experience. If you miss anything, don't worry, you'll be back!!!. The Camino never finishes with you, or you with it
