One more sleep

[MCFearnley]

One more sleep and I fly out to Madrid.
I don't know what to do with myself. All I can think of is my departure tomorrow. I am overjoyed, nervous, stoic, slightly freaked out... I have not done this type of trip ever and the last time I flew overseas was in 1987. I only ever traveled with others and now I am going solo, leaving my husband home with the kitties. My bag is all packed, but I know I will take it apart and repack it once again.

I am so looking forward to setting foot on the Camino and join the millions of pilgrims who have trod this route over the centuries before me.

One more sleep!

Enjoy your soon to be freedom

Buen Camino! My husband and I also have one more sleep until we fly out....perhaps we will meet up on the trail. We plan to start on the 15th from SJPdP.

Just a thought, I walked with an Aussie family & they had a son that had a little figure & he took pictures of it as they moved along. Makes for some interesting very fun pictures

 

[Ed's mom]

Buen Camino.
My daughter leaves today and my husband and I leave next month. I look forward to hearing your great adventures. Remember pack light!

 

[VNwalking]

Wonderful...Buen Camino and Ultreia, Claire!
May you have good health and good walking.

 

[Albertagirl]

now I am going solo, leaving my husband home with the kitties.

@MCFearnley
I love your comment about leaving your husband home with the kitties. Sometimes, we have to step out alone to recognize our own strength. Buen camino.

 

[C clearly]

Keep us posted! Buen Camino!

Have faith, all will be well. Traveller there is no path. Paths are made by walking,(Machado). How lucky you are to be starting off. Just take it easy, smile, use Spanish if you can, learn some if you can't. Look after your feet. If you start to get a blister change to your sandals. Peregrinos are mostly a good lot! Buen camino.

But I wondered; is he left with the 3 kiddies or the three kitties??

Indeed they are three kitties, the furry kind

That is so sweet! Have a wonderful and meaningful journey.

Five hours before my flight. I'll be heading out to the airport soon.
My priest had a really nice blessing for me at the end of the morning service.
All the jitters and butterflies were calmed after that. I am ready to go.

 

[VNwalking]

Wonderful, Claire!

My priest had a really nice blessing for me at the end of the morning service.

And don't miss the pilgrim's blessing at the end of the evening mass in Roncesvalles--it will inspire and steady you. (Well, it did that for me and I'm not even Catholic--it is deeply moving, one of the highlights of the Camino).
Bon voyage, and buen camino!
