Only 79 days to go! In the next couple of weeks I should visit my physician to have my blood pressure checked, but since it might be unmeasurably high right now, I'd rather wait till AFTER our Camino
I've booked our flights - arriving in Porto on Sept. 24 early in the morning (with enough time for our first stage to Matosinhos) and flying home on Oct. 13 (after one full day in SdC to celebrate our arrival)
Maybe we'll have to make one or two excursions to our local Decathlon for individual clothing, but the rest of our gear is complete and all young adults own very good hiking boots. Unfortunately they are not willing to break them in at home, so that is definately going to be an issue. I can only hope that the right mix of walking socks, nylon liners and vaseline will prevent the worst blisters. Our first 6 stages are between 10 and 15 kilometers, which is hopefully doable for twelve untrained legs
I need your advice for getting our Compostellanum after completing our Camino. Is it possible to get them in absentia? Our 6 special people with a mix of autistic, borderline, ADHD and bipolar issues are definately not able to stand in line for 2 hours (or even longer) at the Pilgrims Office. And since we can't leave them alone for such a long time, either my coworker or I will have to supervise them. Will I be able to get the Compostellanum for all of us if I'm the only one to join the line with our Credenciales and ID's? Any ideas on how to deal with this situation?
You are not Irish, are you? That is how things work over here! Good luck., I think you are going to be tested, but I will be behind you all the way!Maybe somebody in this forum knows someone who knows someone who's actually voluntering on
Friday Oct. 12?
Oh, it would be awesome to receive our Compostelas in the chapel, with some special attention for these very special pilgrims (goosepimples)

And when this wonderful moment happens I hope you will take pictures and share them with us!
