On my way - First Challenge

I'm on my first flight from
LA to Dallas and my iPad just blew up! Suddenly the font just changed to a size which is so
large that one single letter fills the screen. I don't have a clue as to what happened or how to fix it. I will just try to figure it out. Hopefully there is an Apple Store in Pamplona. If not I guess I will be sending my blog by way of my iPhone.

I knew that there would be challenges but this was not what I ever expected. Blisters, sore shoulders, fatigue and more but I did not think the blog would be a problem.

I land in Dallas in about an hour and will see if I can find a way to fix this. 

Robin and I had dinner with the kids last night near LAX and then stayed at the airport Marriott because my flight was early. I got about three hours of sleep so I'm already dragging. Hopefully I will sleep on the ten hour flight to Madrid. 

Just a few warnings about the blog. When you walk for hours on end you have a lot of time to think and therefore there will be lots of thoughts which will end up in the blog. These thoughts come out of my head so there's the warning. 

In addition I will typically end the days walk and first do the days laundry in the sink followed by a shower. Then it's off to get something to eat unless I'm just too tired. Most days I will be creating the blog after dinner. I will start and then fall asleep around eight o'clock and wake up around two in the morning. At least that's how it worked the first time. I will then complete the days blog which takes up to two hours and try to get back to sleep. The warning is ... I'm tired and will not always do a great job of editing so there will be errors in spelling and more so deal with it:-).

Before I left I was asked this question ... How much of the money you raise will go toward the wells? All of the money raised will go to the wells. None of the money raised goes to pay any of my Camino expenses. I just thought that I should say that so I know that everyone is aware of what is happening to the donations. When I left this morning we were above $95,000 so that means six wells and part of a seventh! 

Thanks to everyone who has been able to help. Hopefully I will get the iPad problem sorted out . That's it for now.
