A wee bit nervous


I'm leaving tomorrow night and I'm feeling a tad nervous. I'm very excited but have many worries--is my backpack too heavy? Will I get a bum knee? Will the walking be more difficult than I have anticipated? Most of the packing lists that I've looked at have been created by summer pilgrims but I have to prepare for cold and warm weather. With my pack heavier than I'd hoped, I've contemplated taking out my wool blend shirt, mittens and neck warmer thing. Although I've been keeping my eye on the weather forecast for Roncesvalles (my starting point)--I didn't really anticipate the snow. The picture is from another website--reportedly taken yesterday. I guess I will not ditch the winter woolies. Brrr...

Nerves Smerves! You are gonna do great and have great adventures! I can't wait for you to get started as I contemplate my Spring Break... filled with bickering children, mounds of laundry and the sounds of "I'm bored" and "what do you mean we aren't going anywhere?" Said by the child who refused to lend me $1 to tip the pizza delivery boy. I think freezing cold, plate sized blisters and sleeping on the floor is beginning to sound pretty darn good. Wait for me, I'm coming...
