- Time of past OR future Camino
- September 2012
Hello, all - I'm Meredith, from South Carolina (the "1" in my screen name was apparently needed to distinguish between another Meredith and myself ). I'm walking my first Camino this year, after having thought about this for a year and a half and reading some excellent books on it, and of course reading the many, many helpful posts in this forum (and yes, getting gear and walking).
I'm traveling solo (I've learned not to say "alone"), and looking forward to what I will learn about the Camino, about the history and culture of that part of Spain, about others I meet along the way, and about myself. It seems an excellent way to celebrate turning 68, which I will do in August.
My first concrete step toward my Camino was back probably in February or March: ordering my forum badge. Now that I've bought my tickets and started the planning needed for the first few days, it's becoming real, and I know the time between now and departure on 3 September will go fast.
Thanks to all of you experienced peregrinos who provide such valuable tips and insight about the Camino. I really hope to meet some of you along the Way.
Buen Camino to all!
