I'm clueless. Looking for suggestions for 30-40 day trip on: routes, guides, travel agencies (?), albergues, books, travel plans to get to Europe, etc.

Thank you.

Camino Frances from Pamplona to Santiago. http://www.godesalco.com/plan/frances
John Brierley's guide Camino de Santiago. http://www.amazon.com/Pilgrims-Guide-Camino-Santiago-Roncesvalles/dp/1844096246/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388353424&sr=8-1&keywords=john brierley
No travel agency required. Use booking.com if you want hostales and hoteles. Reserve just a day ahead.
No need to read a book, but Tim Moore has a very funny one. http://www.amazon.com/Travels-My-Donkey-Pilgrimage-Santiago/dp/0312320833/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388353369&sr=8-1&keywords=tim moore
Fly to Pamplona, return from Santiago.
Etc.

Falco269 gives you excellent advice; SJPP to Santiago, then 4 more days to Land's End (Fisterra), that is all I can add. Enjoy!!! And Tim Robbins' book is GREAT

Cheap accomodations: http://www.hostels.com/
But I recommend staying with other pilgrims in the albergues most nights. Just my opinion.

Hola Poonboo,
Sorry, can't help you much with airlines from the US, thought I'd ask in case you were travelling from my part of the world (down under).
As mentioned, you don't need a travel agent for the camino side of things, you just book as you go, or walk and find accommodation when you arrive, if you prefer, as mentioned by Falcon & others.
If you prefer to book as you go, and stay in double rooms, a mobile phone is a good idea, particularly for the smaller accommodation along the way.
Happy planning.
Buen Camino
Colin

Perfect way to make or break a relationship!
Ha, ha, Just kidding.

Your plans will fit well for the Camino Frances, I think. But there are many things to take into consideration. What made you think about doing a Camino to celebrate your anniversary (congratulations, by the way)?
