just wanted to thank everyone who's helped me prepare (in so many ways) for my first camino. leaving for the airport in 15 minutes for bilbao and then it's on to sjpdp on friday! thanks in particular to sil and mark *hugs* for all of the advice and kindness.

best wishes to you all and if any of you other peligrinos/peligrinas see a diminutive, short-haired gal with south korean & estonian flags and a virginia patch/badge on her pack, please come up and say hi!

buen camino!
