New arrival to this list... with questions!!

someone told me to walk softly and carry a big stick, but I think they got it from a movie (which one was it, a western maybe?)

I set up a meeting with my school health clinic, because they do advising for overseas trips about vaccines and things like that, and also, since I plan to be fasting, I arranged to meet with a nuritionist -- I am usually not so paranoid about stuff like this, but my spiritual director told me I need to seriously think through the health issues related to fasting.  In either case, I would check and see if your school has a nurse assigned for overseas travel planning.

  Hi everyone,
      My name is Jennifer Bruce.  I live in Calgary, Canada.  Last September I picked up a magazine at the hostel in Seattle... and there I found an article on the Camino.  I am a student of anthropology and history and my passion is travel... so this seems a dream come true.  I am planning to do the Camino on Sept 1.  I will be travelling on my own and have a few questions.  I am pretty sure I will start in St.Jean... however, I am also pondering starting in perhaps Arles, or Toulouse.  Does anybody know if these ancient routes leading in from France still exist as a path - as opposed to highway?  I didn't really have any concerns regarding the Camino until I read the book by Shirley MacLaine... now I am afraid of these 'dogs'.  Should I be concerned enough to bring rabies vaccinations?  Any other vaccinations?  I guess the real question for everyone, is... what is the one thing you brought or didn't bring that would be indispensable for a modern day pilgrim.  That is all for now.  I thank you for your time.
