Under two months and counting

[BillyB]

Leaving for SJPDP April 10 and planing to start my Camino on the 13th. I have packed and repacked my bag 100 times. Im down to 21lbs and i probably have 20lbs of stuff i bought and won't bring, I've walked 50 + miles a week for the last 6 months and I'm ready to start the real walk. Very excited!

I'm about the same.I'll leave July 15th.So far my pack is about 22 lbs.I'm gonna carry extra water hence more weight.I still pack and unpack everyother day and walk about 6 miles a day so far.When it gets warmer I'll walk more.

Buen Camino to you both! I love that stage where I keep packing and unpacking my bag - it's all part of the fun and anticipation. Good luck.

James you might find no need for extra water if your on the CF. I purchased a regular botle of water and just refilled it at Fuentes throughout the journey. Wish you Buen Camino.

Thanks NualaOC,Movinmaggie and zzotte.I appreciate the advice.I work outside in the extreme heat so water is very important to me.

Oh good, I thought I was the only one packing and re-packing and obsessively weighing every item! Sounds like I'm in good company. Is it possible to catch the Camino bug before actually setting foot in Spain??

I start the day after you and like you I have packed and repacked. I plan on doing it the day before I leave hoping that I will be able to part with the "I might need" stuff. Buen Camino

Happy Trails
