I've been waiting for this moment so long. I've learned a lot here for the past 2 months.
With butterflies in my stomach, I feel ready to face what the journey will bring. I'm ready to meet my fears as P. Coelho faced "the dog" in the Pilgrim.
I'm leaving tomorrow from New York to Paris and will arrive in St Jean on the 14th.
See you on the road!

Nice. Have fun! It'll be over before you know it. You go from "Man, someone just finished their Camino today" to "Man, someone just started their Camino today" very quickly!
 
Buen Camino!!!

Very very exciting to be starting your first Camino. Safe journey and travels along the way.

I'll be starting my first Camino in three weeks time!! Eeeeek!

The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
You are open to whatever comes, which is good
You have butterflies, which is good

You have everything you need - Enjoy!!

Buen Camino :wink:

I am also leaving tomorrow for my 1st camino. I am so grateful to have found this Forum and I wish to thank all of you for all the valuable information you have shared for the past 6 months. It made preparing for this trip so much more enjoyable and easy!
I am ready to tackle this and I look forward to meeting you on the Way.

I love the Camino and I met Ellen! :D
Just arrived in Pamplona and staying at Casa Paderborn. It is so nice and quiet here. Not to mention hospitaleros are so welcoming!

I depart on October 01!! My first time. I am so excited. I have not read extensively, but i am going with what I believe are adequate preparations: an open mind and heart, road gear, and joy, hope, and curiosity.
 
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.
