My Camino Journey

Welcome!

Welcome to my travel blog.  My hope is that I will be able to update it regularly, if not daily during my adventures.   My plan is to go to Spain to walk the Camino De Santiago.  Finally, it looks like everything is coming together to make this possible.

I now have my passport and airline tickets in hand.  I begin traveling July 25th with the first portion of the trip being a lot of flying! It is going to take a total of three flights to get Pamplona, Spain.  Before I go to Spain I will be stopping in Massachusetts for a week to visit with family.

As the days fly by I am busy preparing all the little details.  So many things to attend to prior to leaving for a few months.  Yes, I said a few months!  It will really all depend on how much I can physically handle.  My ultimate goal is to walk from Pamplona to Santiago De Compostela.  However, given my physical capabilities I may have to adjust after starting the trip if it looks like the full walk will be too much.  In which case I will move forward to the last 100km.  I am going to leave that to be  decided when I arrive.

I think one of the next things I want to do is take an inventory of my back pack as I want it as light as possible.  One tip I have read is too mail forward anything you don’t want to carry.  I think I may also post some of that relevant information here on the site just so I have it handy and don’t have to carry around  extra papers.
