Hello. The Camino has been at the top of my bucket list...

[falconbrother]

Hello friends. Some background... I was married for 37 years. My wife had a list of health issues over the years and died from cancer two years ago. I did the best I could to care for her. I had this far-fetched dream, for many years, of doing a pilgrimage on the Camino De Santiago. We were planning a trip to the West (USA) next year (2024). I told my fiance' that my dream was to walk the Camino. A couple of days went by and she said "Let's do it!" So, we're going in May 2024, 7 months from now (we'll be married by then).

Our plan for now is to not over plan but, to mostly "trust the Camino". We bought new packs, a 34L for her and a 38L for me. Traveling light, apparently.

I’m sorry for your loss; pleased you’ve made a new life and expect you’ll have a great time on Camino. Light is right.

May you have a wonderful time walking the Camino.
Pack as light as you can, bring a set of spare clothes, a poncho to protect you from the rain and the lightest sleeping bag or a liner. If you find that you need anything, you can buy it in Spain. Do not bring your worries or the "what if.."
Spend you money on shoes or sandals, whatever you are most comfortable with. Test it before you leave for the Camino.
All the best to you
