camino frances 2012/2013
last year. I started my first camino, I felt I was prepared for every eventuality. result.. to much stuff in my pack.
I took a fall and wasn't able to continue, so had to go home.
I wanted to finish so next saturday I travel back to Spain, (carrion de los condes)
My preparation this year is lacking.. result lighter pack and less nerves.
last year I had 1goal MAKE IT TO SANTIAGO, this year my goal is: ENJOY MYSELF!!

Thanks for your post - it could not have arrived at a better time (I leave for Spain in 5 days). Buen Camino!
 
Recommend you stay at albergue run by the sisters next door to the Church of Santa Maria in Carrion De Los Condes. It was a highlight of my Camino. Enjoy your journey! Monica
 
I will be travelling for 22h so 5min ago booked a hotel room:D I remember the snoring and people waking up Early!!
So I give myself 1night of good sleep:p
While writing this, there is a rerun of a documentary of the camino on tv, I have flashbacks of sore feet and feeling tired :p
 
...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 too sadly had to stop, in early June at nearly the same place! I was heartbroken. Am planning a restart from Poblacion de Campo in May, with even lighter rucksack;) and with a song in my heart. Wish you well and step carefully!

Look at the bright side, you´ve been able to return and continue your Camino. Hopefully you´ll reach Santiago de Compostela ,take part in the peregrino
mass, hug the Santiago himself and get your "compostela". And who knows return yet again to continue on a different Camino.:)

Buen Camino!

From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles

Hope all goes well for you this year. Why don't you post your packing list here and we all help you to keep the weight down this time ;-) ? Buen Camino, SY
 
I really cannot pack any lighter.
Sleepingbag, extra set of clothes, jacket, toothpaste/brush, soap, jack, poncho.
And thats it!!
