What a beautiful rug and what a treasure not only to have it, but to have the gift of that connection to the lovely soul who made it. What you have done for the Navajo people will come back to you tenfold, I believe. Bless you and your willing heart. This tired old world needs more just like you.
Thank you so very, very much for your compassionate heart towards our beautiful Navajo brothers and sisters. Having spent a good deal of time out in that part of the country and established relationships with those who call it home, I have seen the living conditions firsthand and understand...
Just an update to say that I received an email this morning from AA advising that a refund had been issued to my credit card for my canceled domestic tickets. I had canceled the flight after the airline changed the schedule, and had received a voucher which I didn't really want. It took just...
Thanks again for the very helpful advice. We continue to read and learn and think and dream … all we CAN do at this time, of course, but somehow it's enough. For now. When we begin to talk pragmatically, it gets us nowhere. There are still entirely too many unknowns about what the future...
True. So true. I am inherently impatient with a "need to know right now" mentality (well, you know this about me already, I'm sure, based upon our other shared interests), and it is dawning heavily on me that this is a time (for all of us, perhaps) to slow waaaaaaay down and get comfortable in...
Yes - thank you, David! I believe someone had mentioned this in another thread in which I expressed our accommodation concerns, and it is a good point for us to remember that there are some albergues with private rooms.
I had begun to feel a bit sheepish thinking that we were going to be...
With slight apologies for resurrecting an older thread, I wanted to thank you for this comment. We are still in the "should we or shouldn't we?" phase of considering the Camino, and I was beginning to wonder if perhaps not staying in the albergues would somehow diminish our overall experience...
My tickets were booked directly with the carrier. I am happy to have at least been given the link enabling me to pursue the refund, whether or not it actually materializes. Thanks again for the info.
Thank you so very much for posting this! I did not know that a refund was even a possibility, but I have just submitted a request for domestic flights that I had actually canceled after AA significantly altered my arrival time. I didn't really want the voucher, but thought that was my only...
Hey, Mark -- These are not thru-hikes, but simply trips where we'll be gone for extended periods and basically doing a lot of day hikes with an established base. Plans are to be in southern Colorado, seeing as much of the Wemenuche Wilderness area as possible, and spend time in Big Bend...
I've just begun listening to this podcast on my commute to and from work and it's brilliant! Definitely provides much excellent information and encouragement, especially to someone such as myself who is in the beginning stages of considering the Camino for the very first time. Thank you for...
Thank you. Yes, we would definitely be very open to getting to know others along the journey. Even in our backcountry travels here in the US, we tend to make friends easily and enjoy the camaraderie of the like-minded folks we encounter who obviously thrive on outdoor experiences as we do. And...
