Hello and Thank You

[BrianNj]

I just joined the forum. My fiancee and I will be leaving SJPdP on 8/29. While the Camino is something I have always had in the back of my mind, it was only two weeks ago that a window opened up where I could get away for the time needed.

First, thank you to this community, for everything. The information is so valuable and appreciated. Thank you to those running this as well.

I wish that we had more time to prepare, but I believe we will be ok and I thank you all a lot for the help that this site provides making it all possible.

Brian

Wonderful! Buen camino both of you! So you are going all the way to Santiago?

Hi,

you'll be leaving two days earlier than me from SJPDP ;-).

I only decided to walk the Camino Frances three weeks ago. I had planned to walk the CP, but there was an unexpected incident , which makes it now possible for me to prolang my stay, so I'm going to walk the CF.

Like you, I want to say muchas gracias to all of those members who spend their time, to write on so many different issues concerning the Camion. I've found this forum such a huge fountain of valuable information.

Yes, we are. I am terrified and excited lol. Very much looking forward to it.

Maybe we will run into each other. I have no expectations for pace for myself, especially in the first few days. Buen Camino!

Would be nice, if we'd run into each other. But concerning pace I'm going to be surly part of the tortoise-clan which I don't mind, because now I've sufficient time to enjoy the Camino. Wish you too Buen Camino!

I think most people have thoughts of 'What have I done?? Why did I think this was a good idea???' before you begin the walk (and the first few days from St.Jean), but breathe deeply and know it is what you want to do. After four or five days on the Camino, you will settle into a rhythm and the routines will be familiar and you will relax and enjoy the experience. Every day is the same, but different...and often very wonderful.

Welcome to forum.

Buen camino to you both.

Maybe i will see you on the road....

Yes, you'll be allright. No need to prepare for it too long in advance.
A lot of pilgrims just start walking without training for it.

It might seem like a huge undertaking, but just take it one step at a time.
Remember:

Everything is in walking distance ...
