September Camino - So excited!

[Roxane]

Hi all - I'm actually just starting this thread so I can post my start date on the calendar.
AND - I love this forum.
Start date is September 14 from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Right after a business trip. (Fun packing experience). The plan today is to fly into Madrid then train to Pampola. I'm not wanting to have my first two days to be grueling by starting at St. Jean. (yes - I can be a chicken). I hoping to meet others here and then there.

Doing the Pyrenees is nice (my favorite section, in fact), but there are many, many great sections from Pamplona onwards too -- in the grande scheme of things you aren't missing anything.

AND - the forum loves you too...

Hello Roxane,
As someone who starts again in under two weeks, I sort of envy the excitement you must be feeling at this stage - for me the planning and preparation are just as good as the Camino experience.

Buen Camino

The Camino starts where you start. Enjoy.
Buen Camino.

John, I see that you are starting another Camino. That is great!!! I recall starting just a few days ahead of you in May last year. The wife and I will be doing the Camino in Sept this year. Buen Camino

Hi Roxane, I too am travelling in Sept/Oct. I too hesitated about going over the Pyrenees, and it took my son to remind me "You know Mom, you will regret it if you don't". Being a photographer, there is no way I could not not do it. I look at it as just putting one foot in front of the other. Sure, it may become somewhat arduous, but therein lies the lessons; how will I meet the challenges and how will I deal with them? I do wish you well. Buen Camino

I feel a little disappointed for you Roxane as the scenery in the Pyrenees is the finest of the Camino Frances, and the walk not as difficult as some make out, if proper precautions are taken.
Having said that I'm sure you will have a most enjoyable walk.
Buen Camino
