Hello all--
Last month I asked a bunch of questions about a bunch of topics, and received a bunch of suggestions--thank you all so much for the feedback!
So, from your wise words and experiences...here is what I am thinking of, and, like the beginner that I am, I seek reassurance of my proposed actions. Please be blunt and honest!
Flying into Barcelona from the US, onto Pamplona and a random taxi from the Pamplona airport to St Jean Pied du Port. Get credentials, and spend the night. Next day, start the Camino and settle in Roncesvalles for Mass later that evening. Two trekking poles for crazy terrain, sleeping bag liner and foam mat, one other change of clothes, assorted first aid items and toiletries totalling a little over 7 pounds. Rented an international cell phone to make my mom feel more at ease-since I will travel alone. A journal, rain poncho, head lamp, Confraternity book, electrolyte packets, and scallop shell. How'd I do?
I had every intention to make my Camino the most spiritual and grounding as I could, but it feels like all of the above makes me look like I am a Club Med Peregrino(a?). Honest opinions, please.
