If didn't know I was 69 I'd feel better about this trip. Hence the title of this blog: "Slowly, please. "
This adventure will take us first to Minneapolis for Anna and Even's wedding on May 29th and then onto Spain where we plan to cycle on the Camino deal Norte starting in San Sebastián. 10 days on the Camino, we'll make our way back to Madrid by train for a week at the Vaughtown English immersion program where we will be facilitators. More on that when we get to that part of the trip .
Craig and I both woke up with some trepidation this morning as we prepared to leave home. Doubts about our fitness for this endeavor crept in. Looking for a specific phrase that Craig called me (later for that:)) on our last Camino, we ended up re-reading the blog from 2014. Seems we had the same doubts two years ago and prevailed . That was helpful.
Preparations for this adventure consumed us for the last week and earlier including all the home maintenance and training and of course packing . Craig juggled the suitcase items so that each one weighs 48 pounds, just under the free limit. Then we each have 2 panniers, mine weighing in at about 18 and Craig's 35. I'll post our packing lists separately.
Off to Seattle to pick up Hazel and spend the afternoon at Carkeek with both girls.
