I'll be starting in St. John, on May 26. 80 on June 12. I did it last year, and I don't know why I can't do it again.... We just have to slow down as we age---not stop---yet.
I, too, celebrated my 77th on the Frances in 2019. Currently in Molinaseca and hoping to return to celebrate my 80th next year.
For me, nothing beats the Frances.
I fly to Madrid, where I catch the bus to Pamplona and on to St. Jean PdP. I understand that masks are required on the bus.
My flight from Portland, OR to Madrid in June 29---hopefully.
Starting in 2017, I celebrated my 75th, 76th, and 77th birthdays doing the CF from SJPP. In 2018, I did parts of the Portuguese Coastal. I was alone, and I found the PC to have much less infrastructure(bars, etc.) and few pilgrims---entirely different from the CF. Pretty scenery along parts...
