The adventure starts tomorrow!

This is it. In less than 24 hours I will be on a train to Irun where I will begin my journey. Many feelings of excitement, anxiety, and the occasional flash of nervousness. I have been away from my family in California for the last 3 months, but for some reason I feel like I am saying goodbye to them all over again by getting on the train tomorrow. I know I will see them soon, I know I have their support, and I know they are just as excited as I am. But doing such an grand adventure without them is new for me.

I hope to meet friends along the camino. I hope to meet people who challenge my thoughts, teach me things, and I hope to hear their stories. I know this will be a wonderful journey, and I know only good will come from it :)

Now, I can only hope that the bad dreams about blisters will go away soon ;)

Buen Camino my friends

Eli_Marie:

When you get a hot spot stop and take care of it. There is no reason to get a blister. Therefore, nothing to worry about.

I start from San Sebastian on April 2nd. Maybe our paths will cross.

Joe I hope to meet you! Thanks for the reassurance on the blisters ;)
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Buen Camino!
I will have to wait to 23d of June! But then I and my 16y's old doughter start our adventure in Pamplona! Nervous!!!!
 
Have a wonderful time.
These days when I get bored with my work, I plan my next Camino. It's a poor substitute for being there but keeps me slightly sane until then.
You're very lucky to be starting - I envy you !

Its been great! Got to Zarautz today. Feet are sore, a few new blisters (but taking care of them) and still looking forward to tomorrow! I just keep reminding myself to go at my own pace, relax, and smile!
