Our flight from NY got a lil bit of a late start but we made AMS on time as well. The train to Casa Voys was leaving so we splurged and paid 80 dh on train for 2 tix. From Voys we got on train to CasaPort why stop in Casablanca if you don't see the mosque. The petit taxi we got at the train station left us like a 20 min walk from mosque it was worth the walk thou http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Morocco/Rabat-Sal--Zemmour-Zaer/Rabat/blog-277890.html We got to Amsterdam and had trouble with the lockers 6 euros. Sam found one of the airport people and he reopened the one we paid for and we were on our way to Centraal Station no one checked the ticket we spent 6.9 euros on but maybe we can use them on the way back We didn't end up with anything expect pictures in AMS. We exchanged our money in US so we didn 't use any exchange there. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Amsterdam/blog-277881.html So we made it and have been to 3 cities already... found a cafe to write in l'medina in Asilah.

I haven't received my myspace bulletin either. Either way its sunny so I'm going out on journey to the faraway land known as QUEENS.

You would have thought it was XmasChanukkah or maybe my birthday in my office. I ordered the pack in small so it's only 56L instead of the M which is 60L.. oh well. I don't anticipate packing 56L to get me there. It seems to be rather large in space but we will see when I give it a few test runs hopefully on weekend trips around here. Anywho.
