Hi Anne and welcome to the forum! You might want to change your thread title to something more descriptive (me guesses Pumpuli is Finnish for Pamplona? Or does it really mean cotton wool? You have me confused there!)
I wish you a wonderful and blessed Buen Camino, SY

Hi Pumpuli! Welcome to the forum! Enjoy every step and every stop of your camino!

Pumpuli is the user's nickname and I guess she used it as the title of the thread to introduce herself.
Pamplona in Finnish is Pamplona or so it says the Finnish Wikipedia: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamplona

I am intricate - an user that calls herself ' cotton wool' - I would love to hear the story behind it! SY

Obviously, I can't tell you the story behind it. But I'll give you some food for thought: Pumpuli is (also) the name of a Finnish nourishing hand cream...

Welcome to the Forum and the Class of 2016. By the time you depart on your Camino you will have read a lot about the Camino, asked many questions of Forum members AND even with all that info...you will still pack something you Might Need. Unpack...take out the might needs...pack. Do this several times!
On the day before you depart...unpack and, honestly this time...remove that last "might need".
Buen Camino,
Arn

When I travel, I always take some "might need" first aid, medications and repair supplies. If I have diarrhea, I want to have medication with me. If my boots fall apart while walking (it has happened), I know that I can stick them together with duct tape if I have it. Trust your experience while walking. Take what you need to feel safe for emergency medicine/first aid and emergency repairs, but don't overdo it. You don't need to be the person who empties someone else's foot repair supplies or uses up all their duct tape, because you didn't feel like carrying any.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I am Anne from Finland and I start my Camino 22 August from Pamplona.

Hi Anne. I hope you have a great Camino and that it is everything that you expected it to be and more.
 
Dearest Pampuli,

Welcome to our crazy version of the Rubicon. Once you cross it, you will never be the same, and I mean that in the best way!!!

This forum is the most comprehensive tool you will ever find to prepare yourself for this life-changing journey. Even if the info is contradictory at times, it is all offered with the best intentions based on our own personal experiences. You have plenty of time to discover which suggestions work best for you, and if you still have questions/concerns, please ask away.

Happy planning and Buen Camino!

Juhannuksena startataan Camino Portuques Portosta.

Buen Camino
