Preparations

We leave for Spain on Tuesday, and we’ve definitely entered into scramble mode. Equipment purchases, refinements, and testing has gone on for months, but it always seems like there’s something breaking or not working at the last minute. Our rigourous training schedule has gone by the boards this week due to increasingly frantic work pressures.

And of course, there’s always a bunch of last minute things. And there may have been a fair amount of procrastination as well.

It’s important at this phase to remember to breathe. Our transportation is taken care of, as are our lodgings in Atlanta (don’t ask) and O Cebreiro prior to the walk. My daughter is watching the house and animals. We have shoes and packs and clothes.

I’ve canceled the milk deliveries.

We’ll be fine.

Breathe.
