What with packing and repacking, it's gotten too late to sleep, so started watching Martin Sheen's "The Way" again. The film that started this hair-brain scheme of mine to walk the Camino. Great film, it will be interesting to see how the Hollywood view of the Camino de Santiago will differ from reality.
So at 4am I'll make my final preparations and start walking to the airport, for those that have read previous posts I really was in two minds about using planes on this, what swung it in the end was I'll have to loss two days in St Malo not a bad place to spend two days but time is precious for me on this camino, it's taken a lot of effort to have three weeks. I digress as I mentioned the flights could not be avoided without significant impact on my Camino, so I'm going to walk to the airport, start as I mean to continue I guess.
This is the first time since I turned 21 that I've taken three weeks off work, the last time I've taken this much time was for my overseas aid project back in '91 I was in Kenya for 4 weeks actually had my 21 birthday out there, was that really 20 years. I wonder if this as much of a life changing experience. Word of advice kids if you want to remember a special birthday then travel, I have no memory of my 18th, not in that way, I just assume we just did the normal Saturday night stuff drinks club etc, so it's just blended into the theme of my life at that time. But Kenya and my 21st that's crystal clear.
