I've trained, I've gotten geared up, I've studied, and I've read the forums......a lot. I arrive in Spain on May 24th and will start walking the Camino Frances on May 27th. I said I was just going to let go and let the Camino happen however it's supposed to happen. But I find myself just a little bit anxious. My pack is holding at 11.8 pounds (5.3 kg). My Spanish has not improved that much since I began study in October, but I think I can get by okay or at least I hope so. I am so ready to begin this wonderful journey. One would think that at this point all of my anxiety would have fallen by the wayside. I think the stuff about getting from Madrid to SJPP is the most bothersome to me. Because there are so many different ways to get there (believe me, I have looked at them all) it is mind boggling to me. I have a plan, a route, and do know if Plan A does not work out for some reason there is always Plan B or maybe even Plan C which is just to figure out any changes as I move along. The thoughts and knowledge here on the forums have been so helpful and I have to remember that I don't travel alone or even with just my sister who I'm walking with, but a whole community of those who have gone before me. A big heartfelt thanks to everyone who was patient with my questions and those who pointed me in a direction I might not have otherwise known about. Again a big thank you to the Camino de Santiago Forum.
Buen Camino
