[QUOTE="grilly, post: 33978, member: 1797"] Rita, you will just have the time of your life. An [i]hospitalera[/i] in Ages told me that the Camino is much better when you do it alone as a woman. I guess it's good for the soul. I will be 63 also in September, and will return to the Camino for the sixth time, I guess. The first time was in 2005 when we walked from Le Puy to Santiago. This year, it will just be from Burgos to Santiago. Make sure you get in the habit of walking three to four hours once or twice a week, if you can. See that your backpack sits right on your hips. Know that your Camino has begun the minute you decided to do it and started walking to get ready... And it will continue walking you once you're back. Listen to your body (I broke mine last year). Don't take ibuprofen during the day for aches and pains because you won't feel the pain anymore and that's not good. Drink a lot of water to avoid tendonitis. Have fun reading all the posts here... I am so happy for you. Your husband should expect a really 'exciting and fun' wife when you return. In a way, the first Camino is the best. After that, it is just a question of going deeper and deeper in a lot of different ways. Buen Camino, claire [/QUOTE]
