    First week / last week on the Camino

    First week: Taking the bed way back in the corner, up against a wall, putting up my towel from the top bunk to hang down for sleeping privacy. (Very modest) Last Week: dressing at the side of my bed without a care. Introducing myself to the man whose bed is about 12 inches away, with a “ since I...

    When to purchase airline tickets?

    I have found that you have to get up in the night, sneak up on your computer, and pounce on the good deals! Make sure to clear your browsing history, as sometimes you will see the fare go up each time you search,

    Last Minute Cancellation

    I think that the fear is just your soul telling you that you are setting off on a big adventure and it is excited! I have cancelled things out of fear before, and it has turned out to be a huge regret. I headed off all on my own to my first Camino in 2016 and had such a great time, I went back...

    New use for trekking poles

    As Mother's day approaches... a Camino memory

    Thanks Damien, I burst into tears after reading your post. Your Momma was a beautiful women. The person I would have loved to share this journey with is my identical twin Jan. She passed away a few years ago. I hope she will be with me at times on this journey. I am hoping to leave my...

    Longing

    How's the foot, Angie? I've been wondering if you've been able to get the PF under control. I about took a face plant today while out for a training walk. I have always had quick reflexes and was able to get my feet under me without falling. All I could think of was that I was going to smash...

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    I lay awake last night until 3 am thinking about my upcoming trip. Am I taking the right shoes, do I really need those heavier trekking sandals, or should I just take my light flip flops? question after question in my mind. Do you ever feel ready?? Is this going to be a big mistake?? Will I...

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    I leave for the Camino Frances in 9 days. I must admit, some of the posts over the last few days have scared me a little, especially the one about the Hospitalero who threw the packs down on the floor and yelled "leave, leave!!" I am scared that some of the Camino veterans might have posted...

    What wonderfull People..each and every one

    That's me exactly. My right knee has been causing some problems. I have to take 800 mg three times a day to keep it under control. My husband knows that I'm scared, but he says that he will throw me out of the car at the airport, and my backpack after me, if I try to change my mind at the...

    What wonderfull People..each and every one

    Now that it's so close to my time of departure, I'm scared.. I've had so much fun training, shopping and getting my gear together. I'm worried that the journey might just seem like torture with the walking so far everyday. Ready or not, here I go in less than two weeks. :eek:

    Pre Camino anxiety

    Thank you Albertgirl. I think I may need to stay off the forum for awhile. I've been seeing too much about "help me find the magic" and stuff like that, so I've been feeling "what have I done" kind of feelings. I'm just going to go. I love people, I can get along with anybody, I have a wicked...

    Were you there in the 60's? A pilgrim song for you

    I was giving a patient of mine quite a cup full of pills one morning. He made like he was going to take the whole bunch at once. I asked him if he was ok taking that many. He replied, "honey, I'm from the 60's, we are the experts in taking pills" I laughed so hard, I had to sit down. I love...

    Menu peregrino: a close call

    Ha Ha. I needed that. I am in full anxiety mode this morning. I leave in exactly 2 weeks. I need to laugh to keep myself sane.

    Pre Camino anxiety

    Thanks! I am sitting down one more time and going through everything in my pack. I walked 10 miles with it yesterday, and while it is very manageable for me, It didn't include many hills. I feel that I can get rid of a few more things. It currently weighs 17 lbs with water, no food. I had...

    Pre Camino anxiety

    It's some fear on my part. I think about getting on the plane and have a major adrenaline rush. I don't worry about walking once i'm there, I just worry about the getting there part and all the little parts of the travel. My husband told me he will kick me out of the car and throw my pack out...
