    Suddenly feeling terrified

    So I leave for France tomorrow to start my Camino on September 9 and I'm suddenly feeling overwhelmed with fear. I was excited yesterday but now I can't answer why I am doing this and am feeling dread. Has anyone experienced this before leaving? I realize I'm headed into the total unknown, which...

    Following up... Thanks everyone for all the tips and advice. Every post was EXTREMELY helpful!! I was hesitating booking my flights (had to summon some courage to do it). Flights are now booked - I leave Canada Tuesday, September 6, land in Paris around noon and I'll spend the night in Paris in...

    Advice on getting to St Jean Pied de Port

    Thanks for this! This is pretty much what my research is telling me too. I think the fewer transfers the better as I find navigating bus schedules challenging at best and my foreign language skills are weak.

    Advice on getting to St Jean Pied de Port

    Thanks tlandry! It's very helpful to know about that shuttle service. That's a good option that will get me there faster. I thought about staying in Paris overnight too but I think it might be better to start moving towards the Camino quickly and not get distracted by the sights (and shops)! lol

    Advice on getting to St Jean Pied de Port

    Buen Camino - I'm excited for you! Maybe I'll see you on the trail! I'm hoping to fly out on September 5 so if all goes well I can begin walking on the 7th. Thanks for the tips! I appreciate all advice I get as I tend to just wing things. I'm looking at the Rome2Rio app now after all the...

    Advice on getting to St Jean Pied de Port

    Thanks for the info. and well wishes! I'm expecting some pretty harsh jet lag. Sleep is a big challenge for me at the best of times. I was thinking of getting a hotel in SJDP the first night. I'll look into the Bayonne option as well. I'm making a bit of an assumption that SJPD is a small town...

    Advice on getting to St Jean Pied de Port

    Hi everyone, after months of gathering gear on the off chance I could find a way to walk the Camino Frances this fall, things are falling into place and I have secured time away from work. Now I just need to book a plane from Canada and get there. I think I can fly into Paris and just catch a...

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    I'll be flying from Edmonton, Canada to SJPD in a week or so (still firming up dates). I was wondering if nuts can cross borders, (as in legumes not people). I'm just planning to bring a few protein bars just in case of an emergency and now, maybe a few packets of instant coffee (I like that...

    LIVE from the Camino My first Camino: reflecting on my journey so far.

    I'm really enjoying following your journey. I'm trying to summon the courage to walk the Camino alone. My biggest fear is loneliness on the way. Your story is encouraging! :)
