[QUOTE="Anakasha, post: 84949, member: 14465"] Greetings from Los Angeles, California. My name is Nicci, I've just hit my 40th year. Where did the time go? The first time I heard of the Camino I was 18 and backpacking through Europe for my third time. The French trains had gone on strike and I was stuck somewhere between Paris, where I had left some friends, and Vienna, where I was meeting my mom. In the dining car I met up with some rather dusty looking Danish women who had just finished their Camino and a couple of Italian guys who were on their way. By the time the train started moving again I had accepted an invitation to join the Italians. My mother had other plans. Five years later some friends and I had purchased our tickets and were four months out from leaving. Six days later I folded my knee back 180 degrees and spent the next year and a half relearning how to walk. Ten years later the Camino bug bit again and I was on my way. Five days before leaving I discovered the cold I had wasn't a cold it was mono, and again I was unable to go. Over the years I thought about the Camino, but didn't plan again. I was under the impression the Camino might be telling me it wasn't interested in meeting me. In 2011 I became a member of the Directors Guild of America and as such had the fortunate pleasure of seeing an early screening of The Way and afterwards being treated to a Q&A with Emilio Estevez. Who knew the Camino was still the lurking in my psyche? So, here I go again. I'm planning on leaving LA around the 12th of April,spending a few days in Paris with friends to get over my jet lag, and then hitting the Camino on or around the 16th of April. Due to the knee injury I'm planning on taking 2 months to do it. I'm hoping to finish, but if the knee says no, I'll finish another year. [/QUOTE]
