Kerstin,
Thank you!! This post was exactly what I needed to read, the thread has saved my day. I can relate to the jitters completely. I haven't been able to focus or be myself the past week, and I still have to wait until the 19th to fly out. I keep telling people I am in limbo-land...
You can do it! My parents feel the same way, I am 23 and haven't been able to do cardio of any sort since I was in high school because of the discovery of a heart condition. I leave for my Camino on the 19th, and truth be told, haven't prepared at all, instead I look forward to struggle. I...
My travel companion and I Google-imaged Orisson. I fell in love with the idea of staying there. It is absolutely beautiful, and I fear even if she felt like going on to Roncesvalles she would be doing so without me. I can understand the conundrum with the cost, but your comfort and experience...

I think honestly (and I am speaking purely out of anticipation) what will make you a true pilgrim is the inner journey you take. It's personal not some sweeping generalization. The snoring, the hostels, the rain, the suffering, are tiny details of what will surely be a grand adventure. Why...
Starting May 20th...ish from SJPP with a good friend. Her and I have both somewhat already checked out here. Can't wait to start the walk.
Buen Camino :)
