Hola Kayci,
Welcome to the forum, good to have you on board.
Happy planning.
Buen Camino

ps. You might consider also posting "hello" in the Pilgrim Introduction area, not that you have to, but more people might get to know you over there.

Thank you Gerard! I'm a little excited about this journey. Which appears to have begun with a mere thought.
Cheers!

HI Kayci,
I am also living in Central Queensland (Longreach) and am thinking about doing the Camino in late Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec... (still deciding when - depends on my savings a lot!) Will keep an eye out for your posts to follow how your planning is going and exchange ideas/research etc..I wonder if there is anybody else in CQ that has done/is planning a camino?

Hi Ellem, I've purchased my pack and poles. Looking carefully at clothing... Ie weight. At this stage I'm on my own but I believe that won't last as I'll make friends along the way. I've begun walking every day. Loaded the pack with 7 kg of bagged rice. Small steps.
I've also been to the local library for DVDs and literature.
I'm in Gladstone.
Keep in touch,
Kayci

Ellem.... I'm also exploring taking a basic Spanish class at the local TAFE college. Food for thought.

In SA we have an organisation called the WEA and they provide short as well as more serious / longer Spanish courses. Janet

Hi Elem,
Perhaps we will meet along the way. I am planning to walk from the Netherlands starting at the end of May and should be getting to Spain at the beginning of September. The Camino is especially good to walk on your own as you meet so many other pilgrims that you are only alone when you want to be, yet you don't have the ties and issues that can arise when walking with someone else. It is a very personal journey. Enjoy your planning and I would encourage you to learn as much Spanish as possible. It is an awesome experience that will change your life.
