    Why the Camino de Santiago?

    Thank you, all, for the replies. The responses are helping me come to grips with the longing that sits in my soul. Both of my previous "caminos" were life changing. No doubt they were a pilgrimage for this life. While Santiago holds no special meaning to me as a destination, the time spent...

    My flight to Lisbon leaves in 8 days. Last week I finalized my pack list and weighed in at just 14# w/o water! I was very excited and feeling so capable and ready for my Camino.
