Hello,
My name is Ding and as the title says, an 'old' member who has not done the walk yet. I have signed up sometime in 2009 but been a lurker since i arrived here in Paris years before that. It has been a longtime calling for me to do the Camino but somehow never got around to doing it for a lot of reasons (excuses!) mainly got to do with having two young kids.
Fastforward to now, well...two weeks ago my French wife informed me that we have a week free of the kids and asked me what i'd like to do. The Camino bulb suddenly lit up and the last week has been a whirlwind of last minute gearing up.
I'm a bit peeved that after all of these years dreaming and soaking up info on the Camino i'll end up walking it almost on impulse! One week is not much i know but its a now or never situation for me. (me and wife have had a taste of the trail sometime in 2007 criscrossing bit of Camino when we walked in a circle from Jaca-Pamplona-Bilbao-Hendaye and back to Pau in France).
We're thinking of having our two boys join us for a second week somewhere along the line but absolutely have no idea where.
Anyways, if there a Caminoist starting in SJPDP and coming from Paris, we're drving down Subrigue in our car to deposit our dog with some friends there and would can gladly accomodate one or two persons more for the ride .
Buen Camino everybody!
