    Hey, Clarisa, welcome back! What a wonderful piece of news! I am sure that you will get there in all senses!! My daily walks have been so good that I miss them when I am unable to go.

    Getting to know you all....

    It is really good to meet so many "hopeful" pilgrims in this forum!! I feel like I have fellow walkers all over the world. My own Camino will start only on June 1st '08 but there is not one day that I don't come here and meet someone like me. In fact, chatting to people from everywhere shows...

    Planning for a trip May/June 2008

    It is really amazing the way all of us , pilgrims and would-be pilgrims, behave: all of you mentioned the same things; the backpack, the boots, the blisters, etc... :oops: :oops: And there is more - friends that have never heard about the Camino! They do not believe that you are walking across...

    Adelaide woman, 56, preparing for the Camino April/May 2008

    Hey guys, how wonderful to have so many responses!! I really believe we are going to meet somewhere along the way, tags or no tags!! I no longer fear solitude.
