Planning for El Camino

[Sumachado]

Hi, I am Sumachado, 56, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; I intend to start my Camino in June 2008 from SJPP. I am very anxious but at the same time very sure that everything will turn out well. Hope to get all the advices you guys can give me. Thanks for everything! :lol:

Hi Sumachado,
Welcome to the Forum. I hope all your preparations for your pilgrimage go well. The earlier you can start in June the better because at that time of the year the Camino is busy and gets more full as you get closer to July.
Two years ago I walked for some time with a pilgrim from Brazil called Paolo; He was Chairman/Secretary(?) of the Brazilian Association of St. James I think you should be able to get help also from there, particularly with getting to your starting point.
If you do contact Paolo give him my regards.

Buen Camino,
Brendan

Hey Johnny Walker and Brendan, thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. I am trying to get organized and not forget anything. I have been reading everything that comes to my hands but I am sure that there is a better and more powerful organization that does not depend on my will or my efforts... 8) Anyway, apart for the usual worries regarding international flights, I am pretty sure I'll realize my 40-year old dream of making The Camino. Thanks for your words and I hope to meet you again in this forum. Ta ta...
