Hello!
I'm in the (somewhat disbelieving and hoping I'll have enough time to pack and remember everything I need, but also excited and happy) final countdown to my flight to Spain in a few days. I'm flying from Nova Scotia, Canada to Madrid (via Munich) where I'll catch a bus to Pamplona and then ride to SJPP courtesy of Express Bourricot.
I've connected with Alison, who's also starting on Sept. 15th, and a couple from Ottawa, Canada who plan to start a day or so after me, and I'm looking forward to meeting all kinds of other new friends along the way. This will be my first trip to Spain and I know it will be amazing. I've been reading and researching posts in this forum for several months now and I've learned an incredible amount. If the people I'm soon to meet are anywhere near as friendly, helpful, and generous with their knowledge, time, and suggestions as I've experienced here, I'll be in good hands once I get there.
I've often read that the Camino begins for each of us as soon as we feel the first stirring of curiosity and interest in walking the trail - and that the Camino walks us and not the other way around (or at least, it walks us as much as we walk it). It's certainly been that way for me so far. I feel like I've been on the path for many months already and I look forward to experiencing in person soon what I've been dreaming about since last November.
In appreciation,
Rachel
