We have trained, packed, unpacked, repacked, read, studied, planned, and it is almost here. Our flights leave in 70 days to begin the Porto coastal trail. We have a plan that has broken the Camino into days with about 10-15K but we will see what actually happens.
Excitement and apprehension is here but it is getting time to just do it. Final stages of planning include packing and repacking again, and again, and again, so I know where everything is in my pack. Some long walks to build final confidence. And praying that the COVID-19 doesn't disrupt our plans.
With some luck and prayers May 24 will be our first day on the Camino. Here we come!

agreed but I still have hopeHola - I don't want to put a dampener on your dreams; mine is/was similar - depart Porto on 21 May for SDC vis the coast route. Sadly that dream looks less likely as each day passes. Buen Camino.

This is a time for all of us to think of the big picture and to let go of our smaller personal desires in the service of keeping each other safe. It's no longer time for business as usual.So now the big question is will we be able to go given the state of the pandemic. Still have our fingers crossed.
Well said, again common-sense thank you.agreed but I still have hope
You expect the pandemic to have cleared in just two months? I salute your optimism but urge you to rethink your plans.We have trained, packed, unpacked, repacked, read, studied, planned, and it is almost here.

Very well said. We are going through something that has not happened before if you consider the current speed of information, and some case dis-information, dispersal throughout the world, as well as the ease and frequency of travel between countries and continents. All of which is contributing to our world wide situation.Why do so many people feel the need to chime in on nearly every post to explain how “they” know better than the original poster? I just finished reading the DNA thread and was similarly frustrated.m by the negativity.
If you don’t agree with the OP or you would do things a different way - more power to you. But the OP is not asking for your advice, opinion or scolding. I’ve found that, in general, the people who post here are not stupid. I’m sure if the pandemic is still an issue, the OP will not go (especially if the closures are still in place). They can readjust their plans as the time gets closer. But if things go better than expected, say if COVID-19 turns out to be seasonal like influenza, then Spain, France, Italy and other countries who have been so impacted financially, will welcome the return of pilgrims to help their economies get back on track. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, how about we try to keep things positive in these threads that have nothing to do with the pandemic? If I want to read opinions about that, I’d read the threads dedicated to that - or better yet visit the CDC, WHO or the government health department websites for the country I want to know more about so that I can get accurate, scientific facts instead of opinions.
