Camino dreaming

[DebR]

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 thought I have a Camino obsession

It is amazing the post Camino thoughts. Seems as though the world over we seem to share the fixation of finding the quickest route back.

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 am dreaming of my first Camino. Sept 1 is the goal.

I'm also getting ready for my next camino: not sure which one, or when, but it will be soon. And after binge-reading the forums last night, I booked my shell tattoo today

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!
