I've spent the last four years planning our Camino (my husband and I) and now it's here. We fly into Paris on August 16 and spend the first night in Orisson on August 18. I just wanted to say hi; I look forward to sharing the Camino with whoever will be there with us.
Over the last four years, I've read every word in every post on this forum. I am grateful for the sharing of those with experience and the opinions and questions of novices. I've had all the debates in my head and have decided on light sleeping bag rather than a liner, walking shoes (Merrill Moab Ventilators) and sandals (Chacos), light-weight wool socks and polypro liners, a hiking skirt rather than pants, trekking poles rather than a walking stick, and not to bring coffee making supplies (it is a pilgrimage after all). I've walked hundreds of training miles, many with my pack. My bag (Gregory Deva 60) is packed and weighs 8.2kg.
I'm ready. And now I wait. This may be the hardest part!
