Nancy just dropped me off at the terminal. I walked in to discover I was in the wrong place. This was not the type of discovery I was hoping for, but likely the first of many I’m sure. By myself, I feel both excited and scared. Scared. It is an unusual feeling for me, but one I might have to get comfortable with, at least for the next 6 weeks. However, the stronger emotion I feel is BEASTY and as my shoe proudly says – BAD ASS (thank my little sis for that foul language)! 
While I look forward to the moment that I connect with Debbie and Loretta, the alone time will be just as meaningful an experience I am certain. Let’s see if I still feel that way as I’m crossing the Pyrenees mountains by myself!
My pack is far too heavy to make any sense for me, but is backpacking over 500 miles in another country “sensible?” Hella-no! But I am certain I am about to embark in a life shifting experience. Thank You again to my family and friends that are supporting me on this journey of life and love. Next stop, London Heathrow.
Mind the gap.

I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to hear all about it!! ❤️❤️ Be safe, you’re in my prayers! Xoxo
Sounds like you made it to Heathrow and are moving on to Biarritz. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have already taken thousands of steps to get to this point. Enjoy your journey! XXX OOO Zach, Cammy and Jeff
Thank you hon… I am moving on to St. Jean today. Not sure what to do about Orrison yet – I’ll ask at the Pilgrim’s office. Rain is expected both Friday and Saturday which really messes up my hike through the Pyrenees… 😦 love you!!
Hi Sis! Hope you got to France safely and found a place to stay. Thinking of you and so proud you’re on this adventure!! Anxiously awaiting your first European blog ;-). Love, D
I’m in /Biarritz now. The weather is beautiful and the people the same. Shortly I’ll be on my shuttle to St. Jean. Have to decide to hike to Orrison today or not. Rain is in the forecast for Friday and Saturday which means I’m not sure what to do about the Pyrenees yet…
You go girl! Xoxo
I really enjoy see the pictures and reading your blog! Looking forward to seeing more! Enjoy your journey! Please tell Lanny Hello for me!
