Where should I start my camino with 14 days total to walk?

Time of past OR future Camino
I'm going on my camino September 24 thru October 10, 2014.
I've been wanting to do my camino since watching the movie 3yrs ago. There have been lots of changes in my life since then, my brother died, I moved back home (after being in another state for 10yrs), got a new job, home etc. Now due to my new job I only have 2wks vacation a year so am unable to do the whole camino, initially this made me really sad and thought I might wait until I can do the whole thing. But then I was reminded that waiting isn't always the best thing. I can't wait to get out there and experience what the camino has in store for me, whatever that may be. With all that said I'm not sure where the best place to start would be. I am definately doing the last part of the camino because I want to end in Santiago. I'm concerned that I will be so focused on getting to the appropriate destination each night instead of soaking in the camino…I also would like to get to Finisterre. I have a total of 14 days to walk. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Fourteen days will get you from Leon to Santiago. If you plan to walk to Fisterra, Ponferrada would be a better starting point.
Thank you for the tip. I appreciate all the help I can get!
