Hello. I made a relatively impromptu decision to do the Camino when I lost my job three weeks ago. I had felt that I didn't need to worry about too much (and even as I write this, I realize that there will be plenty of people to ask along the way, so I probably still don't need to worry) but I've been reading some of these forum posts today and getting panicky at all of the things I haven't thought about or planned or learned. I just sort of thought I'd pack a bag, find my way to SJPP and start walking. I'm outdoorsy and used to travelling off the beaten track so wasn't too concerned about gear, though I'm starting to panicky about that as well.
I booked a flight to Paris. I plan to take the train to Bayonne (have not booked that - wasn't planning on it). Looks like I will miss the last train for the day so will plan to overnight in Bayonne (haven't booked that but probably will) and take the morning train to SJPP and was going to head out from there late morning for Orisson for the first day. But now I'm reading about reservations... You need reservations on the route?? I had no idea!
Are there other things I should be more prepared for than I am.
