Hi, Craig,
I'm sure you are really excited, there is nothing like a first Camino! Let the anticipation build, but when you take your first step, it will all just become normal.

Looking forward to reading your blog, but the link you provided requires a password. Is there any way to make it generally available?

Enjoy and buen camino to you! Laurie
 
Hi laurie,

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

D. Adams wrote a wonderful book well worth remembering now. It was inscribed "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters on the cover. Very good advice, his few words concerning towels are also very relevant.
Buen Camino

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
"there is nothing like a first Camino! Let the anticipation build..."
Yes, that is so true. I hiked from Pamplona to Burgos; Sarria to Santiago last Sept.The anticipation was stimulating enough but actually doing it was AWESOME! This past May I returned to hike Burgos to Sarria ;Santiago to Finisterre. I guess because it was all so new and different, my 1st hike was more 'stimulating'! I plan on going back to hike some of the other caminos . It can be addictive in a most pleasant WAY!!
