    Any Canadians? Starting from sjpdp Sept 07.

    See you there! I like the saying that appears under your name. A variation on that theme has become a mantra for me ... even as I walk around the house thinking of those first two days especially. Joan, I keep telling myself: Step at a time ... just keep thinking a step at a time. :-)...

    I am so enjoying the sense of calm I'm experiencing as I await my September 5th departure from Vancouver, Canada. I look forward to meeting those who plan to put feet to path in St. Jean a few days later. I had planned to share this experience with my daughter last year. However, my husband...

    Hi Kristy, Another Vancouver "girl" here who is planning to put boots to ground in September. Perhaps we'll meet. In the interim ... enjoy the preparation ... physical and otherwise. (You'll see from the photo that I've taken some liberties with the definition of "girl". :0)

    Class of 2013

    Greetings to my fellow 2013 travellers. I'm feeling strangely calm after having just booked my flight from Vancouver, Canada for early September. Perhaps the calm comes from acting on the dream of walking the Camino ... and because my husband, whose poor health necessitated cancelling plans to...

    Hi Tim, Writing from Comox, BC. While out walking the other day I found myself thinking of you and wondering if you were on your way. How lovely to see your post this morning from Santiago. Though we've never met and may never do so, I wanted you to know that there's a teary-eyed, smiling...

    Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada!

    Hi to my fellow Canucks and others ... Hi from the west coast of Canada ... from the pretty little seaside town of Comox. I had hoped to be on the trail this September to celebrate a big birthday (65 in my case). My daughter had arranged time off work and we were to head off together. One...

    The Journey Before THE Journey

    Hello James ... from the west coast of Canada. Somehow national boundaries disappear on this wonderful site as we all seem like one in some important way. What a beautiful message you have shared with us. I must admit that a tear or two rolled down the cheek as I imagined that lovely exchange...

    Class of 2012

    Hi Thom and Francine, It's fun to see all the folks who are preparing for 2012. With good luck perhaps some of us will meet on the road. I, too, will be walking in September. I took advantage of the west coast sunshine to go for a hike on Mount Washington (on Vancouver Island) this morning...

    Hi Debby, Greetings to you from Comox, BC, Canada ...where the sun is actually shining today! I, too, am preparing for 2012. Hiking boots were purchased a few weeks ago in preparation for the preparation. I can't think of a more meaningful way to celebrate my 65th birthday ... and to share...
