Pack Weight :}
I bought a 65 L pack because it was the one that fit me the best and felt "substantial" enough for my frame (I'm a 6' tall Amazon woman). The 10% body weight could be a fine rule of thumb, except for me that would be a LOT of stuff! I have been really worried the last week as I've practiced...- SeattleJen

First time pilgrim and going solo...
Thank you! I will. It will be mid-March (2-3 weeks before I leave) because a work project is trying to kill me first. I suppose if I survive this work event, the Camino will be a piece of cake. ;-)- SeattleJen

First time pilgrim and going solo...
Thank you everyone! I finally figured out a solution yesterday: I'm going to sleep off the jet lag at a hotel inside Gatwick, then take an early morning flight to Bordeaux the next day. I'm disappointed to have to spend an extra day in London before hopping over to the continent, but this is the...- SeattleJen

First time pilgrim and going solo...
Wow, that is beautiful! I was planning to walk via Valcarlos for the first stage because I'm not able to work out as much as I want in preparation for the trip (thanks, crazy job), and I want to make sure I set myself up for success in the beginning. However, you make a strong case for Orisson...- SeattleJen

First time pilgrim and going solo...
Thanks for your help, everyone. I came up with a solution late last night that also works to cure the "awake for 24 hours jet lag" problem. Instead of immediately jumping to the continent like I originally wanted (but the flight schedules from Gatwick were not cooperating), I found a really...- SeattleJen

First time pilgrim and going solo...
... but I'm really looking forward to meeting whoever new I am going to meet. Flying into Gatwick from Seattle April 3, and plan to leave SJPDP around April 5. The unanswered question right now is how to get from Gatwick to the start quickly, cheaply, and in a way that my body can sleep off the...- SeattleJen

Class of 2018
Hi all- Class of 2018 here. I plan to leave SJPdP around April 5. First time pilgrim, solo, and I would be more freaked out if I weren't trying to put every spare moment into work so I can take April and May off. So goes the ways of the modern world. See you on the trail!- SeattleJen
