January 15-16, 2013 2 days melt into 1 as we cross the ocean… We have arrived in the fabulous Kingdom of Morocco!!! So there we were, sitting and watching approximately 100 people in the lobby of the Holiday Inn trying to load two years’ worth of luggage on three buses… We must admit that the sight was interesting and it was delightful to watch the humorous mayhem. Group leaders were selected yesterday to organize the endeavor and collect money for tips.

Tuesday Day 10 We're in Rabat and free days are starting to translate as lazy days spent around the campsite, but I'm okay with that. It was our turn to cook and we were anxious to lose the reputation of taking the longest to serve dinner (so we're three perfectionists, sorry!), therefore vowing to start early and prove everyone wrong. We'd decided on chicken schnitzel, courgette and eggplant fritters for the three vegetarians, a tomato and cucumber salad, carrot and pineapple salad and rice so after breakfast, we began breaking up the leftover bread for breadcrumbs. I was a little unsure about how it would work but we eventually figured if we spread the bread out across three plates and left it in the sun on the truck, not only would it dry out but the ... read more
