I am walking the Camino as a part of a Sabbatical from my work. I will have about a month of Sabbatical time prior to my trip and I'm thinking about what I might do in the month just before the walk as a way to prepare. I am walking some now and plan to walk even more at the start of the Sabbatical. I'm in the midst of packing and such as well. (getting excited is what!)
I'd love to hear stories of what people have done just prior to the journey in the past. What worked well, what was a mistake made. What you wished you had done differently.
For my part, when I made the trip in 2001 I did not spend any days walking the full distances I would be walking on the Camino and I thought that was a mistake. I did spend a good deal of time reading prior to the trip and that provided a richness to the places I later encountered. I packed too much last time, and I hated the top-loading pack I carried.
