At Denver airport, next Montreal, then London. A nice lady in the check-in line, out of the blue, asked if I was going to walk the Camino, must have looked like a pilgrim.
Right with you! Can't wait to meet some of these great people and my plane leaves in 14 hours and 15 minutes, but who is counting? ME! Wish I could leave for the airport right now....
Last night my retired pastor hosted a gathering of people for a send off and a blessing. Today the Spanish teacher sent home a paper signed by some students and staff at my old school wishing me luck and asking me to carry it to Santiago for them. A favorite cousin-in-law called. Tonight my...
I solved the problem you referenced by putting it in the back of the CH-53 the Marine Corps issued me after flight school. There is a great deal of irony in the fact that 30+ years later I decided I LIKE to walk with a pack:-).
I am planning on meeting Keith aka MTtoCamino along the way so I have considered not,packing anything I know he has:-)! (Just kidding)..... Wonder how long that hair dryer would last on the free table? The heaviest thing I am carrying are my meds and my cpap....the cpap is my gift to those...
I am leaving tomorrow and I just got my convict haircut. Long hair, short hair, still ugly:-). I went for convenience. The haircut and the new beard could reasonably be described as "wasted":-).

And I will meet you somewhere around Roncevalles! It's been great to have you to talk about the details with, including various ailments:-). We start soon, and then the Camino will be what it is, but I am betting it's GREAT! You have the point, and LoneStar the rear guard but we three WILL get...
Wonderful folks here. I am a rookie and I am leaving in a few days but I have already felt the support and encouragement from the experienced hands. Buen Camino!
Three days to wait! As fortune would have it, I am working as a substitute teacher 4 days this week and I have plenty to do. Glad I bought a lighter pack after I picked up 6 weeks worth of prescriptions today; that is a bunch of pills:-). Saturday can't come quick enough and my wife just got...
Should be at least four of us on this forum leaving Roncevalles that day! I too will have a forum patch on my pack. Green and white Osprey pack with a scraggly beard on the front.
