Spring Break Returns
After a series of cancelled trips in 2020 and a domestic Israeli Easter last year, I am once again traveling during spring break. This year my Aunt Marty asked if I wanted to meet her in Spain to hike part of the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage-type walk many Christians do. We decided on the last portion of what is known as the Portuguese Way. Our plan was to meet it Madrid and we had reservations on the same flight into Vigo, here we would taxi to our starting point in Tui. We start walking on Sunday, arrive in Santiago on Good Friday and head to the Basque region on Easter Sunday. I went through the familiar anxiety about packing but would like to report that I truly began packing last Sunday and was totally ready to go on Thursday night when I went to bed....it felt amazingly! I can see why so many people pack early—it really reduced anxiety! But this isn’t not about luggage. I was about to sleep about three hours before I took a taxi to the airport at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning
