I'm 79 years of age, female, Canadian, living in the Toronto area, hoping to walk the Sarria to Santiago walk in spring 2012. While my health is excellent, I have problem feet that are more or less under control but I would train to make this journey, right now I walk about 40mins-1hr. per day. I know many make this walk with physical handicaps far more severe than mine.
I would like to join a small group tour with 2* or 3* star accommodations, but many are already sold out during popular periods. Does one have to make arrangements far in advance or is it possible to make reservations two or three months ahead with a reliable company? As a single the costs are quite high with airfare and sharing is a possibility but poses some problems should I not be able to make it. I am reading the countless posts and Q&A's -- I like the byline above "Where past pilgrims share and future pilgrims learn." So here I am.
I have become familiar with a number of the tour companies. Recommendations, tips would be appreciated. Thanks for any info help.
