Camino dreaming

Camino Frances, 2013, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23
I'm dreaming of the Camino...
It's just after 11pm in Melbourne, Australia, where I live. I've walked the Camino three times now, and at this time every night, the flight I take on the first leg of the 24 hour journey to Paris takes off from our international airport.
I live in exactly the right place that, if a certain runway is used, I see "my" flight go by, almost overhead. I have an app on my phone that lets me identify which plane is which, so it really is *my* flight...and it just went overhead, banked left, and started its long journey toward Paris.
Of course, there are probably no peregrinos on board tonight, but just in case there are, I whisper a silent "buen Camino" each time I see my Camino plane, and when it's out of sight I close my eyes and am, once more, stepping out from Beilari Albergue and placing my feet on the Way once more...
This is how I go to sleep, and why I am Camino dreaming...

I did the Frances in September October 2015. I Ann planning the el Norte to the primitivo, finnester to muxia and then on to Fatima. It's a holy year so it may be busy but have to get back !!!! August 1st ultrea
 
You typed the right words! Same here. Every morning I also check the weather in North West Spain to imagine myself how it was when I walked there. Drinking my first coffee and scroll to my pics I made. I'm back now for about 6 weeks but daily I miss the feeling I had during the Camino. Didn't clean my walking shoes so far, I am still writing down my story, and planning to buy new equipment for the next one. When? No idea. For sure? YESSSS! ;)

Strange isn't it. I returned from my Camino on October 7 unpacked my pack and placed it and the contents in a plastic container marked "Camino". I will be called again to walk, not sure when, but there will be another wonderful journey ..... :)

I want to take the Valcarlos route this time: I've never done it before, and this time I'm hoping to pick the roads "less travelled", at least by me. The last two times, I stopped at Orisson, which was wonderful each time.
I'm sure we'll meet somewhere!
