JabbaPapa,
Texas is huge. It's 239 miles to Houston from Dallas by highway. So, while a novel idea, it's unlikely to happen as my family is already wondering what they'll do without me while I am on the Camino. I like it though. Thank you xoxo
Cinimod,
Yes, I watched it when you posted it. It was very helpful & she says it's cool when it's warm & warm when it's cold out. I'm just wondering how much the wind would blow it as I have heard & read the fall & winter winds can be very strong. I am planning on taking leggings or runners...
Vivello,
Thank you for the info. I'm not sure if it's for me or not. I am planning to walk in late autumn & early winter & the possible billowing & blowing concerns me.
I appreciate your sharing this with me. I'll take a look at the Royal Robbins as well.
Xoxo

Metropolly,
Yes. I really considered taking a transatlantic cruise partly to walk on water to the Camino & partly because I am afraid to fly over the Atlantic. I would still need to get to the ship & Dallas is landlocked. So, I think I'll take some transportation.
I never thought you were...
Joe,
I appreciate the suggestions. I was looking at flights from Madrid to Pamplona. The train sounds much more reasonable. I am thinking I will fly to Madrid as there is a direct flight from Dallas.
I will check out Corazon Puro.
Thank you lots xoxo
Leaningforward,
I appreciate the advice. I am investigating ultralight packs & gear. I figure I will use transport for my bag if I need to although will do my best to carry it. I'm sorry to hear about your leg. I am going to have my chiropractor who was in the army & hiked a lot check my pack...
JabbaPapa,
If I lived in Europe, I would start from my door. I live in Dallas, TX. I would love to start in Paris, Lourdes or Le Puy. I will hopefully have 6 to 7 weeks to walk the Frances. So, those are out of the question at this point. Perhaps, another year.
I appreciate your help. Thank...
Metropolly,
I'm from Dallas, TX. So, walking from home is impossible. I considered taking a transatlantic cruise & walking the deck daily. I have tried to work it out in my mind starting at my door. I have read some people walk to the airport. That would take 3 days or so. So, I think I'll...
Anne,
Thank you so much. I am considering Pamplona at this point over SJPP or Roncevalles. I am going to see how I feel closer to October 1. I want to be gentle with myself the 1st week or so. I am kind of a loner although I love people. I'm okay if I have a Camino family & okay if I don't. I...
Hi Amanda,
I'm not sure where I am starting from yet. I will be taking the 1st week slowly. There is a September list & there are some people starting at or around the same as you. You might want to post there.
I hope to meet you along the way.
Buen Camino!
Xoxo
