- Camino Frances (May 2019)
Hello everyone,
I'm saving up vacation time to do the Camino Frances in the spring of 2019 (wow, that seems so far away when I type it). In my preparation, I've been thinking a lot about challenges I may face. I know that I'm a typical "Type A" personality who likes order, plans, schedules, etc. When I worked on tall ships after college, I tried to be a boat bum and go with the flow, but found it very challenging to let go and accept that some things are out of my control.
I've read many posts about how pilgrims can plan ahead, map out a trekking schedule, and make reservations a day or two in advance. Do you have any other advice to help me adjust for/cope with my natural tendencies?
Many thanks in advance! This is a great forum. I'm learning so much from your experiences.
