Well some group members have had the privilege of hearing testimonials in preparation for our great adventure.
These sessions were filled with helpful hints, suggestions, pictures, stories and awesome advice.
These gems and pearls of wisdom have been great thus far. And I wonder...at what stage have you heard it all? Or what determines how relevant, applicable or pertinent some comments from past pilgrims are?
Important questions I feel because of the type of traveler I (Danielle) am. I suppose it comes down to personal preference or experience. Some parts of me want to be properly prepared and organized. However, other parts of me remember my backpacking through Europe days and the fun that was had when challenges arose.
Now don't get me wrong....I'm not heading over there with only my toothbrush and passport. I have given it some thought and will likely prepare quite thoroughly. But at what stage does "information overload" apply? I don't want to investigate this thing to death and have every turn in the road figured out.
After all I am heading out on a journey of self-discovery. So in the upcoming months I will be cautious of what testimonials I attend or seek. I will finish Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" and not pick up another Camino book.
But again this is ME - Danielle. There are 4 of us in this group and we are all embarking on this adventure for different reasons. So my colleagues will likely be experiencing this diffirently than I. The ladies will surely seek out the information they feel is necessary for them. I support them in that and look forward to starting the official adventure with them on Sept. 1st.
Camino....here we come!!!
