I have 9 weeks to go until I can put my first foot on the path at SJPDP and time is dragging like a snail trail. I find life has become unbearable as all I want to do is start walking already!! Mundane chores and daily routines are driving me nuts as I tick off each day closer to my adventure.
Has anyone else had these feelings?? I just can't WAIT to get away on my own and away from all the responsibilities in my life.
Roll on April
You guys are all great. Hang in there - it will come before you know it! And once you're on the trail there will be moments you wish you could be sitting in your comfy home drinking tea and checking out the Camino Forum
Enjoy all the planning and Buen Camino!
I start on April 6, and it is always on my mind! While I have planned 35 days overall and am meeting a gang of 10 in Sarria on May 6, the rest is just going to proceed as serendipity dictates. So looking forward to the adventure...I have 9 weeks to go until I can put my first foot on the path at SJPDP and time is dragging like a snail trail. I find life has become unbearable as all I want to do is start walking already!! Mundane chores and daily routines are driving me nuts as I tick off each day closer to my adventure.

I feel the same but I've got about 18 months to wait! The trials tribulations of being a manic planner!! It sounds like a rare opportunity to get away from the hum drum of daily living!
not long for you, RachelNZ!
I head out April 10th for my third Camino. Browsing this forum helps a lot!Snap. I head out on the 14th April. It is a lifetime away!

Hi Rachel
When do you start again? I think it is just after me ... I start on 1 April. Trying to walk as much as possible in the meantime, but yes, if I could, I'd be doing it now!
Oh I remember now ... 19th. We may well miss each other.Hi! I start at STJPDP on the 19th April. I'm
Also trying to fit in as much walking as I can but just want to get going! Good luck for your walk!
Hi Rachel, My friend and I leave in 13 weeks and one day (but who's counting?!!!). Like you, we cannot wait, but it's a matter of waiting it out and living one day at a time until then, just like you will on the Camino. Buen Camino!I have 9 weeks to go until I can put my first foot on the path at SJPDP and time is dragging like a snail trail.

I am really anxious to get going as well, even more so after the nearly 80cm of snow we had in the last 24 hours here. I've been passing the time with trying to minimize the weight of my backpack, going for the occasional walk along the river to test out my poles, and browsing this forum from time to time. So, try and fit a little camino into your daily life if you can - it's working for me. But I can't wait to see the sun again in Spain along the camino - hopefully it will make an appearance.
Oh I remember now ... 19th. We may well miss each other.
Yeah, the waiting is torturous. Just hope I don't start walking and wish I was back at home with a flat white on the couch!!!! Ahem. I'm sure I won't!
Good luck with yours too!
We're starting our second Camino in late August. And we're meeting friends from our last Camino in SJPDP to begin our walk together.
Memories float back to me from last year's Camino. The meseta in the sunshine. Walking 5-7 k in the cooler darkness of the early mornings before stopping for naranja and Spanish tortilla breakfast. Walking alone. Blackberries on the trail. Beautiful churches. Quiet places to stop for a rest. Meeting new friends who have become dear friends. A shower after a long dusty walk. Tinto. A good nights rest. Ahhh! What a wonderful journey.
It was wonderful.sounds awesome Karen!
HI Duane, When do you head out? Am also from the Vancouver area .I am really anxious to get going as well, even more so after the nearly 80cm of snow we had in the last 24 hours here. I've been passing the time with trying to minimize the weight of my backpack, going for the occasional walk along the river to test out my poles, and browsing this forum from time to time.
