I've been wanting to walk the camino for years, but school made it impossible to go. When I knew I would be graduating this september, I decided to leave at the end of September, beginning October. I started reading up on a lot of things, looking out for gear. I was mentally ready to go.
But then I got the news that my father was terminally ill. I decided not to go and take care of my father, because Santiago de Compostella would always be there, but my father wouldn't. Now, my father passed away sooner than we thought. I'm still grieving, but I feel like I need to get away from here. I need to be somewhere where I can have some me-time and just think.
The question: Can I just get my gear this week and just leave next week or in two weeks without real preparation except from what I read on here and in books?
