    Reintroducing myself

    Ten years ago to the day, I returned home from walking the Camino Frances. People asked me if I would do it again, and I said absolutely. I thought I'd be going back in "3 to 4 years." Obviously, that didn't happen. Life gets in the way, I guess. Job changes, life situation changes, etc. But I...

    Am I being naive?

    Keep checking the weather before you go. Not only the historical averages, but the actual forecast as well. It seems that the same time a year before my Camino, it was snowing St. Jean, so you never can tell. But during that time of year, you won't be seeing 10 feet of snow falling with 20...

    Am I being naive?

    Last year, in late February, I decided to walk the Camino. Actually, I decided to walk it a couple years ago, but it was then that I decided I could walk it, if I walked it right then and now. Less than 3 weeks later, I was in St. Jean Pied de Port. So no, you're not being naive given the...

    Meeting people beforehand

    My first night in St. Jean, I went out to dinner with other guys. In my head I thought, "So, these will be the people I walk to Santiago with." I was separated from them the first day and never saw them again. I met a group of people in Valcarlos and thought, "Oh, so THESE are the people...

    Class of 2014

    Hello everyone, I guess I'm now in the class of 2014. (Unless something changes, which... it probably will!) I'm planning on flying to Paris on December 30th and staying for New Years Eve! I'll start walking on January 2nd of 2014, after a day to recover! Here's the crazy part, I might...

    Class of 2013

    I've had to postpone my Camino that was scheduled to begin in late May. But I am very tentatively eyeing just after Christmas for a new start date, so I may be in the class of 2013 yet. Or would that be the class of 2014? Is it when you start or when you finish?) Best of luck to all of you...

    Class of 2013

    Hi folks, I'll be leaving from SJPP on May 27th. That's after a couple days doing all the touristy stuff in Paris.

    Class of 2013

    Very, very excited, Leslie. I just want to pack my bag and go right now! But I still have about 6 months before I'm leaving. Hopefully I'll use those months to save more money, learn spanish and get in better shape!

    Class of 2013

    That seems to be the hardest part, doesn't it? Admitting that you're actually going to do this. Congrats on the May/June dates, that's when I'll be heading out too! It'll be my first time as well. Oh, and I don't think St. James asks anything other than that you be there.

    Class of 2013

    Thanks for the encouragement! I'm slowly trying to build up my walking abilities, but I have learned the importance of proper footwear. I don't have any real walking shoes, so I just took off in my tennis shoes, which have zero support. I'm seriously paying for it with blisters and hurt...

    Class of 2013

    If you're like me, when you decide to do something, you stress over every little point. I've spend the past week or so trying to soak up every little droplet of information about the Camino, the right stuff to take, the right way to get there, the right way to get home, etc. So here is what I...
