Anticipation

A favorite part of any adventure for me is the planning, prepping and anticipation.  With just days to go now before embarking I have all my gear lined up and am enjoying the last few training sessions.  Walking with my pack and poles my mind cannot help but stray off to revisit past experiences, and know that new ones await.  While the path may be familiar everything else will be new.  Each day fresh.  Walk out into the day and let it unfold....
Monday we head for Boston.  Tuesday we have an overnight flight to Madrid.  Wednesday we will take the train to Pamplona, a taxi to Roncesvalles to pick up our "credentiales"(a special pilgrim passport) and then make a short walk to our Pension in Burguete.  After that it's all just walking....
I'm ready!
