    From Missouri to Porto/Ponte de Lima...Mid-October 2018

    Greetings one and all! We're back on the forum once again after a long layoff. We posted some here prior to walking the Camino Francés back in October/November 2014. We will begin our second Camino soon. So we thought we'd get back in and find out if anyone else might be starting their journey...

    Class of 2014

    Greetings, one and all! I suppose it's time we weighed in as part of the Class of 2014 (September). We are now 100 days away from departing for our first Camino. We plan to leave SJPdP on Friday, September 19 and, if all goes reasonably well, will arrive in Santiago de Compostela on or around...

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Thanks for the excellent advice. We've planned for about three down days or zero days along the camino, but they were primarily with the idea of spending a little time exploring some of the historic sites, etcetera, around the bigger cities. However, we all know what can, and most likely will...

    Wish your wife a "Happy Mother's Day" for us. We're off to Joplin shortly to do Mother's Day with my wife parents (both in their 90's). They love to get out and go to the casinos just across the line in Oklahoma. Then, back home for Mother's Day with my parents. Enjoy the walk!

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Rats! We were hoping to be the couple who looked or acted freakish or strange. ;-) Well, I would imagine there's plenty of room for all of us. Perhaps our paths will cross. If so, we look forward to meeting you. Buen camino!

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Wow! Well, nothing like jumping right back in upon their return. Ah, but (ob la di, ob la da) life goes on, right? I'll be doing much the same myself. While my wife will officially be retiring from her job just prior to our trip, I will be returning to mine upon our return. My employer has VERY...

    From The Way... Joost: "I would like to propose a toast, 'cause we Dutch love to propose toasts, that we agree to meet here in July and run with the bulls, like real men!" Tom: "Like real crazy men." :D

    Bill, Which route are you planning to walk and where will you be starting from? How long do you plan to be on the Camino?

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    It's wonderful that you and your sons are all going together. I'd be curious to know, if it isn't too personal, what drove you, and them, to this decision. Good tip on walking in the heat with packs on. It's already getting quite warm, so our planned trek to Bolivar should be a good test. Call...

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Hi, Stacey! I have an Osprey Atmos 50 and, probably of more interest to you, my wife has an Osprey Viva 50. From what I've read on this subject in these forums, this size pack may be a bit more than needed for walking The Camino. However, we figure one day we may do a walk that requires a bit...

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    We're in Springfield. The father and sons trip sounds really great. How old are your sons? How's the training going? Any tips or suggestions? We've been walking off and on for the past year or so, but not as consistently, I'm afraid, as we ought to be. We are fortunate enough to have the...

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Hello, jumpingin. Thanks for responding. As a couple who walked the camino together, are there any words of advice or bits of wisdom you care to pass along? So far, things have gone fairly well for us during our training walks, but we haven't really pushed it too hard. The longest single day...

    From Missouri to St. Jean Pied de Port in September 2014

    Greetings one and all! Rafiki (Richard) and Travlr (Marla) here. We've been reading and learning from this forum for some time now and have finally decided to join in. We plan to begin our camino in St. Jean Pied de Port on September 18, 2014 and, if all goes reasonably well, hope to arrive in...
