Good morning 1st I must say i have not navigated this type of situation before, I expect few people have but I wanted to commend you for being an outstanding human being and parent for doing this. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their parent.
To your point I will say that in my experience...
What would we do without our precious duck tape. Someone told me a good hack is to wrap some duct take on your tracking poles. It takes up no space and you always have a little for the inevitable repair that needs mending. Well done buen camino

Wow that is really exciting. Le Puy is on the list for me and my family next year probably in April, so your experience is quite encouraging. That exchange about vaccine/ vacation is hilarious. Al ready a great trip! Are you going all the way to Santiago? What walking guide are you using? Buen...
I like the idea of your post. I found on my 1st camino that I did not listen to any music for about the 1st week. I was walking alone on the camino Norte and just was carried away with the people the epic views of the coast day after day the animals farms and just the thrill to be walking in...
