I am feeling much calmer now...all bookings have been made...bus ticket to Pamplona...taxi over the Mountain http://www.expressbourricot.com/ and two nights at St Jean Pied de Pont. I just cant wait to get my feet on that mountain'cause all I will have to think about is getting one foot in front of the other.
I totally panicked and rushed into the city and bought new boots. I had a choice between two pairs of boots and chose a pair of The North Face boots. Not sure about the Gortex interiors but it was that or boots that nigh came half way up my legs it seemed....really over the top so to speak...anyway these ones support my ankles and are quite comfortable thus far....plenty of toe room.
Have just been doing short walks to break the boots in and may do one longish walk over the weekend and that will be it.
Next update will be when I'm there.....somewhere!!

Hey Jo,
You must be so buzzed up:) In the few days before I left I kind of let all those 'tomorrow things' distract me a little from the immediate joys of 'today things'. But that's one I learned on the Camino.... so, if you can, try to enjoy each precious moment of anticipation and excitement in the lead up to your departure as a 'first time pilgrim'.
Bonne route

What a lovely surprise to get you encouraging words...suppose I am feeling a bit numb...still cant quite believe I am doing this....when I first heard about walking over the Pyrennes (nine months ago) I fair freaked out at the thought of it ...now here I am all set to go....at least my mind has been stretch if nothing else..just goes to show how we can change.
Hey Jo with you in spirit, good luck with the boots.
