Here we are on the cusp of departure! Wow! Just two weeks from now and we will be taking our first actual steps on our Camino For Alzheimer’s Awareness! Over the past 10 months it often seemed as though we would never arrive at this point. There have been so many things to do with more planning than either of us initially expected. Isn’t that always the way?
We will depart from Vancouver on September 17, destination Montpellier, France.
We’ve enjoyed some wonderful support from family and our many friends who have warmly embraced our project and asked endless questions. They’ve patiently put up with our ongoing progress updates as we moved through the processes of establishing our purpose, sorted out gear and more recently picked up our training pace. We’ve managed to leverage social media to help broadcast our intentions, and of course there is the time proven word of mouth process. So far we’ve received some very generous support and we haven’t even started walking yet!
Now as we near the final stages of our preparations the time seems to rush towards us like a strong Pacific storm surging ashore. There are still a few things left to do before we depart, but now we can almost see the airplane waiting for us in Vancouver.
We will see Kathy tomorrow to find out how her “walking, walking, walking” preparations have evolved, but mostly we are gathering the family to celebrate her 65th birthday! And celebrate it we will.
Be ready, be prepared
Our journey ahead beckons
