It has been fun and great training. Here\u2019s a little about our Virtual Camino experience<\/a>. Today we virtually arrived at Cruz de Ferro – actually Pickles\u2019 Bluff in John Dean Provincial Park on Vancouver Island where we live. The rock we placed there is dedicated to our new, real journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/throughourlookingglass.ca\/index.php\/revised-packing-list\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One last thing\u2026 According to HostPapa (my web host) my website needs to be optimized to get rid of \u201cfaults.\u201d It uses too many resources because of these faults. I am technologically challenged, so the list of things I need to do to fix them is way over my head. I gave up after reading the first two items on a long list.

We cancelled plans to walk another Camino twice since 2019 – first because of the pandemic and second because of my health issue that came up last April. Everything is fine now, thank heavens. I am grateful for all the kind thoughts, prayers, and actions by caring friends and family and know they had a lot to do with this positive outcome. \ud83d\ude4f…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
During the past month Dave and I have packed, unpacked, and repacked countless times. It\u2019s never easy keeping to the rule about carrying no more than 10 percent of your body weight. The addition of water and food will unfortunately but necessarily put us over the 10 percent rule. Here are the contents of my 30 litre Osprey backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
Could WestJet be right when they tell us to arrive at the Victoria International Airport 2.5 hours ahead of time? Yesterday the airport sign displayed a security wait time of 0-5 minutes! Hmmmm\u2026 Shall we sleep in a little later or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
