Welcome to the inaugural post on the Globe Crawler blog! Thank you for looking me up to see what I’m up to and where in the world I am.

The 2013 Camino de Santiago hike has been planned for over a year now and departure time nears in T-minus 44 hours (give or take). The adventure begins in Alaska where five of the eight women on this hike reside (at least part of the time). Two of us–my sister and I–are stopping off in Iceland for about 40 hours to break up the journey to France. With such a short time in the Reykjavik area after a 7+hour flight, soaking in Blue Lagoon hot springs is right at the top of the list upon arrival…then shopping or eating or drinking…hard to say right now.

I will post photos all during this adventure and do my best to describe the experiences along the way. I also hope to elicit content contributions from my fellow hikers so you have more than just my perspective and impressions to enjoy.

Thanks again for joining us on this great trip. Bon soir.
