Read. Read lots. Here is a good place to start:
which is a bit overwhelming. Start in the obvious place, Google, and look for resources online. Research the towns and cities along the way, learn about Spanish history and if you can, get hold of a guidebook such as Brierley or Cicerone just to read, not necessarily take with you. Slowly but surely, build up a mental idea of what and where the camino is, and visit the forum because it has a lot of advice and information.
You live in California, so there may be a camino supporters' group nearby, but joining the American Pilgrims on the Camino association is a good idea anyway.
Good luck, and if you have any specific questions, that is what the forum is here for!

Welcome to the forum!
A good place to start reading the forum is the main Forums page. You can see the major sections and sub-forums. If you scroll toward the bottom you see a "cloud" of Tags - click on any one and you'll get threads on that topic. The tag "faq" takes you to some Frequently Asked Questions.

Good, you have lots of time. Your Camino has already begun. At this point the most important thing is to start walking regularly, and find a shoe/sock combination that won't give you blisters. No special shoe is required, but you may need to start dating alternative footwear if the shoes you wear now are not appropriate.

- I´ve got Camino plans until 2042,
- or till I fall flat on my face, whichever comes first !!
Like Rick says, let the testing begin....
...and contemplate how you will invest in time enough to do the entire CF or will you do it in instalments.
The Francés is just over a month, unless you are an absolute long distance walker..
Are you btw jobs that will not be a problem.
My only advice is not to skip parts in order to finish early...

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

- Planning 2024 Camino Frances
Welcome! I'm a relative newbie here too. Camino Frances in May 2024. I've been watching videos on YouTube. I've seen various types of pilgrims - from 100% albergue stays and carrying your own gear, to 100% boutique accommodation with bag transfer service and luxury food. Some people skip sections for various reasons, and some start in various places. Anyway, the videos helped me form ideas about the sort of experience I would be wanting. I've also found the resource section on this forum very helpful. I've been saving links to helpful information in my favourites.

I still pack in the same way, with very similar items and identical backpack as in 2013.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

This prompted me to skim through my Kindle edition. It is a classic, well worth the purchase price then and still full of sensible advice for both first time and more experienced pilgrims.
