My thoughts of preparations

Time of past OR future Camino
Plan to walk in May (2017)
6 months ago I decided to walk Camino Frances. I booked the flight right away and now it is less than 4 months until I arrive in SJPDP. I have already made a lot of preparations and training. Planning what kind of backpack, which shoes, and I have been reading a lot on this forum, very helpful. Looking forward to the day when I take the first step on the Camino. But at the same time, thinking I have already begun my Camino. I am walking a lot, long walks by myself and enjoying it. At the same time exited to meet all fellowers on the Camino. Yesterday I visit a local restaurant, with tapas as their speciality. I talked to the waitress, who was from Barcelona, but now working and studying in Norway. I told her I was going to Spain in May to walk the Camino. She smiled and told me she also had done that. So somehow I met a Camino friend even before having start walking. But perhaps this is how it is, I have already started. In my mind and in my hear. Buen Camino.

Like I say - Camino is a drug for me and I need another dose!
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
I also am finding this to be true. You know, we don't have to walk 500 miles to make a pilgrimage. One can make a spiritual pilgrimage in their comfy armchair. When we finally decide to seriously make pilgrimage, we have taken the first step of a lifetime of spiritual inquiry.
I begin my Camino on April 21 at SJPDP. Perhaps our paths will cross.
Buen Camino!
