Welcome to the Camino Forum Lisa. I loved your energy and YouTube video! You will have a wonderful pilgrimage. Listening to you video brought back soooooo many of the same pre-planning Camino jitters and fears. But they will all melt away once you start walking. I completed the Camino Frances (SJPdP to Santiago) in Sept 2018. It was splendid...you will not regret it! Your sense of humor will serve you well. Thank you again for sharing your video! Buen Camino. Mary
