My last day of work will be May 3rd and on May 9th I will fly out of Boston, first for 4 days in Ireland and then on to St. Jean Pied de Port, France to start my walk on May 15th.
On my own time I continue to purchase the items I will need for my walk; shoes, backpack, shirts, sock pants, and on and on as I try to get it right before I leave but knowing there will be those one or two items I will miss. And of course I have been doing early morning and weekend walks to train. Can I really walk 500 miles with a backpack of 10 to 15 pounds carrying the minimum items I will need? That will be my challenge and I invite you to follow my progress. Please check back from time to time to see how I am doing.
Wishing you all the best on your pilgrimage. I look forward to the entries.
Thanks John. Very Excited to be leaving tonight!
Looking forward to following your blogs starting 05/15. I am watching a you tibe documentary right now
