I've been lurking on this site for a couple years as I've saved money and dreamed about walking the Camino. And now it's finally here! I leave in two weeks to walk the Camino Frances and am feeling a mixture of terror and utter excitement.

So I just wanted to say, thank you so much to all the members of the forum for the invaluable advice to all the questions I'd probably never think to ask. I'm as ready as I'll ever be thanks to everyone sharing their wisdom and past experiences. I can't wait to meet some of you on the road in September.

Buen camino!

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back, [it won't be - you're walking East in Europe... but whatever!]
May the sun shine warm upon your face, [actually, your left arm]
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hi Notion 900. Are you really walking east in Europe?
was that a typo error?
