This is such a great forum!
I will be starting my Camino on July 5 from Roncesvalles. I have been wanting to walk the Camino for years now, ever since I lived in Spain and first heard about it in 1990! Finally, I have a month in summer free. I will be flying from Hong Kong to Paris on July 3 and will switch to the night train to Dax, changing to Bayonne and then changing to SJPDP and arriving at about half past nine am. I only have 26 full walking days and want to reach SDC, so will get a passport in SJPDP and take a taxi to Roncesvalles on July 4. Two days walking to Pamplona, a bus to Santo Domingo and then walk the rest of the Camino. Sad to have to use the bus at first, but much better this way than to keep on waiting and waiting for a time when I may (never) have 5 weeks free. Excited! Nervous! Worried about the heat in spite of having spent the last 10 years in tropical Asia!
