I plan to start April fools Day, also. If you are driving from New Orleans to Chicago you will go right past me. If you have time, stop/stay over in Madison, Mississippi.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

April 1? Four days after Easter! A shame to miss such a glorious time on the Camino. True, the flowers will still be blooming in the churches, lamb will be cheap in the restaurants, and all the albergues will be open b-u-t you will have missed the celebrations, the processions, the joyful masses, the fellowship of so many people and pilgrims together. Easter is my favorite time to be on the Camino and I wouldn't miss it for the world!
 
I wish I had posted more during my planning/timing phase. I actually planned to miss easter, cuz it was my understanding that ALOT of places were closed due to the holiday, and it was hard to find places to stay and eat. Now I am sorry I will miss it, but it brings me joy to see you in those celebrations in my minds eye!!

Doug - Happy New Year!
How does one actually post on that Calendar page?
I know I'm particularly thick, and my six year old grandson would probably know instantly.
But there no obvious way of writing on the calendar.

Not Doug, but I answer anyway ;-) Start a new thread in the pilgrims introduction section and then
Add your Start date to our Camino Calendar. 1) Start a new Thread about your Camino plans 2) After thread has been created, select "Thread Tools" above your post (over to the right). Then select "Calendar Add". More instructions here.

@ivar it might be a good idea to post these instructions also on the top of the calendar section ...

Buen Camino, SY
 
I'll arrive on 26 March, Scruffy. Hope to see you at the Easter Mass. Buen Camino

@SY... good idea. BUT.. I prefer just showing up and meeting all the smiling faces first off. With no pre-booked meetings

The calendar function does not mean you have 'pre-booked meetings', just that you have let others know your start date (and possibly where you intend to start from and the time you expect to finish).

Yes - and thank you for that SY.
Announcing my intention to walk the Sureste next month, certainly doesn't make me expect to find anyone else on that camino!!
All the best for 2016 SY .... and thank you.
 
I will think of you when I trot along the VdlP alone the same time ;-) Buen Camino, SY
 
I will be near your time frame from Logroño.
You will probably be two days ahead, when I start in Logroño.
But I intend to be fast in first week, so I may catch up
Does it say "Gypsywind" on your backpack

Buen camino,
Jan
