    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    Disagree with the above saying they are minimal until Burgos. "Grandma's House" in Los Arcos was outstanding and they did your laundry for 50 cents!

    Class of 2014

    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....

    Class of 2014

    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...

    panicking today!!!

    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:-).

    panicking today!!!

    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...

    panicking today!!!

    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":-).

    "Emonty" because my first name is Edward but my nickname is "Monty" and because one of my bosses called me "emonty".

    April/may 2014

    Since I retired from teaching I have worked as a substitute teacher in order to pay for my Camino. I leave in two days and I am smiling as I proctor state tests because this is MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL and my "vacation" is going to be AWESOME! That last day of school feeling is still great. I am so...

    Class of 2014

    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...

    Class of 2014

    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.

    Class of 2014

    Who cares where you started? To paraphrase from my favorite musical, "to each his Dulcinea (or Camino)"! Your journey is one I would have loved to share with one of my children. Congratulations and send good thoughts to the rest of the Class of 2014, especially those of us who are starting soon.
