Leaving Chicago....The Excitement Builds

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances (2012), Camino Frances (2014), Camino Norte (Oct 2018)
I leave for the airport in a few hours to start my trip to Paris and then on to SJPP to start my Camino. I have a reservation at L'Esprit for Friday night and plan to begin walking on Saturday.

Thanks to everyone who has posted. I have read this forum daily for nine months, learned so much and I think it has prepared me well for the journey ahead. I'm attaching my packing list (excel format) because I benefited greatly from others' lists and thought maybe mine would help someone else. It is a bit detailed, and I have a few things many would think are unnecessary or overkill, but I'm comfortable with the weight and have trained with it.

Thanks again. Hope to meet some of you on the Camino!
