The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Pan Am Makes The Going Great
January 21, 1970, the first Boeing 747 commercial flight is made by Pan America World Airways on its New York to London route.

Is that right?!! [Well, of course it is. You wouldn't post a lie. Not what I meant with that comment.] I remember those tags, but couldn't tell you where I flew from or to with them. My first overseas trip was years later and on a much smaller plane than a 747. In fact, I didn't know they existed back in 1970.
I think I remember that when it happened....funny how dated the coaches look despite probably only being a few years old whilst Jumbos still don't look dated today.

I know, I'm always surprised when something turns out to be around longer than I thought, too.

Yep, classic design.
