Leaving in 48 hours

[Marcilb]

Hi everyone
I am leaving Ottawa Canada on the 24th for SJPP. The butterflies are most definitely there but I am eager to get going. Many thanks to all of you for dishing out some great advice. I am 68 years odd and although somewhat overweight, have trained hard, losing 20 pounds in the process, and feel I can to this. I have lots of time and thanks to very useful advices, I will do this at my own pace, stop when I decide to stop. Excluding water I am carrying 14 pounds. Wish I could speak Spanish but am fluent in French.

For the last few months my wife would tell you I was addicted to this forum getting up at 6 each morning to read the last 24 hours on the forum.

I am booked at l'Esprit du Chemin for the evening of the 26th. Look forward to meeting fellow pilgrims.

Buen camino to all does starting off soon

I spent my first night at l'Esprit du Chemin last year, it's a great albergue. You've trained hard and done your homework. Now it's time to put one foot in front of the other and experience the true beauty of the Camino. I wish you the very best.

Buen Camino!

@Marcilb:
Are you going straight to Roncesvalles or spending the night in Orisson?

I will also start from Saint Jean on the 27th. Opted for the stopover in order to fight the jet lag

I am that German that speaks some French and fluent Spanish, wearing a green fleece and hiking boots.

see you around - Claudia
