Let me tell you what your next overwhelming feel will be in 4 to 5 days: How am I ever going to leave this place?
Yup. And in 2-3 days, it will be "What on earth was I so worried about?" and in 60 days, it's "When can I get back out there......?"
Welcome to the Camino, Gumba. And I look forward to your future posts, telling it like it is! Buen Camino.Flying out in 2 days. What the hell have I signed up for?????? What was I thinking?
You'll love it I'm sure.
Life is to be lived and this will be one of the most amazing adventures of your life.
Buen Camino
It's 1:11am so I officially leave tomorrow...
I was going to start a thread of much the same sentiments. I leave a week tomorrow. What if I:
- get lost
- get robbed
- get blisters
- get injured
- can’t find a bed
- get lonely
- get bored
- hate it
- lose my documents/phone/sanity
But, hey..... I’ve got a plane ticket and some reservations and all this gear, so I may as well go, eh?

RevBarbaraG you forgot to list... what if I didn't save enough money and can't eat the last few days
Oh the one I suggested was for me .. lol. Just one more worry to push to the back of my brain. I am actually so excited!Very unlikely, but that’s what the credit card is for. I am blessed to receive a grant towards the cost of my sabbatical, and was also given a gift by one church member ‘for the unexpected expenses you will incur’
Isn’t there a posh hotel in Santiago which feeds pilgrims for free?
You both will have a wonderfull time walking .This thread popped up when I logged on today. We fly out to Barcelona tomorrow. Excited and yes, a little scared. Helpful to see that those of you who had these same feelings are making it. I'm looking forward to being done with planning and making decisions. Thanks so much for the support from everyone.
