We are two ladies who will arrive at SJPP from Australia on 3rd September and hope to start the walk on the 5th. We are booked into accommodation for the first 3 nights. We are both nearer to 70 than 60 and I am now freaking out that we should have done some booking in advance! Our plan is to take it slowly and have our luggage sent on ahead. Now I am reading that we will have to arrive at our destination early to be sure of a bed. Will we be able to book in advance all the way? (Too old to sleep outside on the ground!) Not sure how far we will go but the plan is to try to reach Santiago sometime!
I am finding that freaking out a bit is part of the waiting process...I will only be a few days behind you and I am fighting off the urge to second guess everything.We are two ladies who will arrive at SJPP from Australia on 3rd September and hope to start the walk on the 5th.

Thanks, Lisa!60 years old, here and just finished my first Camino. KariC, I walked this past Spring (SJPP to Santiago), and had my pack shipped ahead on the longer or steeper days (about 1/4 of the time). My pack was always there when I arrived at my albergue - no problem. go ozzie - around the middle of each day, I called and booked for the next night...that way I knew where I was going each morning when I set out. Also, I only walked between 16 and 22 Kms a day. I took my time, stopped 2-3 times a day for coffee/snacks/2nd breakfast. All this allowed me to take the time to enjoy myself, not worry at all about a bed AND be injury free. I never felt like I wasn't being "spontaneous", and the few times I did decide to change plans, I just called up the albergue and canceled my reservation (it was never a problem and they were always very grateful that I bothered to call...make sure you do if plans change). Everyone has their own Camino, and this worked very well for me.
