Hola,
We get on a plane in a week. It's a little hard to believe we are just around the corner from the beginning of out first Camino. We have made lists, checked and rechecked as much as we can think about, so now we just need to practice patience; this patience thing seems harder than we had figured.

I am also a week away. I will be arriving to Madrid the 6th and then flying to Biarritz for the train to SJPP on the 7th. Plan is to start my first camino on my Birthday on September 8th!
So excited and at the same time a bit nervous of the unknown! But this forum has prepared me!
