Time of past OR future Camino
2013
Hello everyone. My wife and I will be doing our first Camino this June. We have been in the planning stages for almost a year and discovered this forum a few months back. I know the Camino will not be easy but the information here is sure to help with our journey preparations and make us more prepared.

We are from Northern California (Grass Valley to be specific) and both of us are in our mid-fifties. After over a decade of working for a great company and never taking more than 10 day off in a row I have decided that I deserve a 5 week break from the daily grind. I have no real expectation and look forward to whatever awaits us.

Thank you for your support.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I have no real expectation and look forward to whatever awaits us.
That sounds like the Spirit of "Grass" Valley!

Have a great time. You are right; you DO deserve a longer vacation. Buen camino.
