And........we're off!!!! Green for go!

[Griffin57]

I know the thread is called 2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS but a few Augusters joined us so today is the day the thread takes off!!! It's green for GO!!!

I'd like to thank everyone who put their name forward but mostly @DeadFred whose idea this was last year. He has already begun next years September thread! I will keep changing the names to green in the tradition that Joe started until I leave on the 17th. May be able to get online after that but not sure?

I know that many who are in the queue lining up to leave are more than a little nervous as most are first timers but don't worry folks there are over 250 forum members plus spouses and friends starting 'together', plenty of us to support each other. It never ceased to amaze me how caring and kind everyone was on the camino. The saying goes 'the camino provides' that means a friend to help if times get a little tough,or commiserate if you do get any of those dreaded blisters! Don't forget @David with his friend Jenny is out there if we need his skills.

We are about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime! It's going to be extraordinary!!!
Oh and don't say you weren't warned, it's addictive, you may want to come back!!! You may even start planning your 'next time' before you finish your first?

I wish you all a BUEN CAMINO!!! Utreia y Suseia!!!

Hi @Peter Fransiscus I'd like to thank you too, very much for being so kind as to welcome and encourage all of the members that joined the list, new and old.
This is the kindness you will see when you are out there folks. People really caring about and for each other.

I hope it is okay to put a reminder here about the meet up spot in Santiago each evening at 7pm at Tertulia restaurant. I plan on being there at 7:00pm to meet any other pilgrims that can make it on October 10th and 15th. (and maybe even October 5th) https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...pictures-from-the-tertulia.32770/#post-329335

I'm not sure how this "September Pilgrims" thing works, but I'll be leaving SJPDP on September 16. Unfortunately my pilgrims passport , shell, and forum badge did not arrive (after a two and a half month wait, I can assume it's lost in the tangle of Thailand's postal system,) so I hope someone will recognize me, (with both feet in the ground,) as a forum member. I'm assuming I'll be able to get my passport and shell in the pilgrims office in St, Jean?

 

[Bala]

Happy September 1 and Buen Camino to everyone who's already on the Camino and to all getting ready to head out this month! Exciting times.

I'll be a couple of days behind you Fallow - starting in Logrono on the 10th. Safe journey and Buen Camino! Our paths might cross somewhere along the way, -

Well I had my first challenge so far....sewing my patch on my pack. Hope I walk faster than I sew.

Hi Julie, sorry your passport, shell and badge didn't make it. You can get a credential in the Pilgrim's office, a shell there too or from many other places. You can get a pilgrim patch from many shops but unfortunately a forum member patch only from the forum or in Santiago.
Have a great journey.
Buen camino
Sarah

 

[Peter Fransiscus]

Hi @Peter Fransiscus I'd like to thank you too, very much for being so kind as to welcome and encourage all of the members that joined the list, new and old.
This is the kindness you will see when you are out there folks. People really caring about and for each other.

Thank you Sarah, I thank you also. You begon this tread in the first place.
I wish you well and a Buen Camino with your up coming journey, Peter.

Thanks Sarah. I will get kitted out in SJPDP and get my forum patch at the end. I'll just have to tell everyone I'm a forum member No problem there, I love to chat and meet new people.

You will do fine, Peter.

Hi Julie, to bad that you didn't got your forum badge. As you stated, with both feet on the ground people will recognize you,
maybe not as a forum member but certainly as a great pilgrim. Wish you all the best on your journey and off course a Buen Camino, Peter.
