First timer starting in March 2017

Time of past OR future Camino
Frances, Portuguese, Catalan, Moz, VdlP, Ingles
Being a first-timer, and starting in March, which is a bit earlier than I intended, I wanted to say how incredibly useful this forum has been in my planning. Every single unknown that was buzzing in my head has found an answer here. I'm celebrating reaching the venerable age of 60, and delighted to see that my future fellow Pelegrinos and pelegrinas consider this to be middle aged. If anyone is planning to start from SJPDP on March 18th or 19th, let me know. It will be good to compare notes.
