Hey Monica, leaving Dublin tomorrow and I hope to start on the 26th but i'm a pretty slow walker so theres a good chance our paths will cross at some stage, I'm a bit nervous but also fairly excited.
Buen Camino,
I'm mostly nervous about the getting there, but when I close my eyes and see just me and the Camino, I feel peace. Buen Camino to you. I will be the one with the unsightly hair and sweating profusely, I am sure!! LOL!!!

I will be leaving SJPP on May 29th -- my first Camino -- and I am EXCITED. As an almost 60 year old female traveling alone, I'll be looking for friendships along the way. Just hoping my knees and hip carry me through to Santiago.
My wife and I should be arriving in SJPP on May 29th/30th. Send me a private message if you'll be around there. I'm canadian, my wife is Australian. first camino. Stressing as we pack (as light as possible).. hope your packing is going just as well.
