I am starting on the 17th, but will be overnighting in SJ on both the 15th and 16th. Have reservations at Orisson on the 17th, Roncesvalles on the 18th, and Zubiri (Benta Berri) on the 19th. Am planning to send my full pack ahead on each of these days because I don't want kill myself right at the beginning with those steep ascents and descents. Hopefully, on day #4, I will feel confident enough to attempt a day with the full pack, as I do want to participate in the true Camino experience, at least on the "easy" days. Buen Camino!
