I am so happy for you. I started in SJPD may 25th and exited in Najera 12 days later after getting severe blisters , plantar fasciitis in one foot and a really bad sprain in the other. I hobbled from logrono to Nahera over three days but just couldn't walk any more. It has taken me until now to...

I will fly from Cali to hamburg may 8th so just missing you. Visiting my brother there for a week. My Camino starts may 28th. Sorry we will not connect.
Thank you for all the hijacked comments about poles. Very enlightening. I would love to leave my poles behind as on the mostly flat I am sure I would not want them. I am mainly worried about SJPD to roncesvalles. Especially the uphill. Can anyone comment on the steepness or toughness of that...
Thanks for all the responses re hiking poles. I think I will be bringing mine. I have used them on the past and definitely find them helpful for going uphill.
Wondering how necessary hiking poles are? Seems like they would be great for SJPD to rincesvslles but maybe not needed after that. I hate to carry them if they are not necessary. Any thoughts ?
How can I find our if there is availability for me there on the 28tg of May with a rude to SJPD in the am. Maybe more relaxing than trying to get there same day.
Getting excited reading about everyone's experiences. Am taking the train from Barcelona to Pamplona may 28th and then bus/taxi? To st Jean pied de port. Anyone else in my time frame?
