The countdown is ON!

Here's the latest and greatest about the Camino Quartet....

Half of us have purchased our tickets WOO HOO!

You guessed it, I'm (Danielle) one of the two who's booked and ready to go for Sept. 1st, 2008.

That's right Montréal to Bordeaux is our milestone flight before the "big hike". And as of yesterday, Monday, April 14th, 2008 there were 20 weeks remaining.

Oh! watch this space for the weekly countdown and updates about our progress with fundraising and training.

I have been walking about with my Nordic Walking poles for a few months now and boy oh boy do I get some funny looks. I have even had the occasional "drive by" comment like "You forgot your skies!".

C'mon people! It's Nordic Walking. Scandinavia's all about Nordic Walking and look how fit they are. I reckon they're onto something. Ah! the trials and tribulations of being a trendsetter I suppose.

So join us on the journey leading up to our departure for the Camino. We invite your questions, comments, suggestions and encouraging words.

Thank you pilgrims!
