My first blog - Marrakech, Morocco!

---

So, off we go (my husband and myself), on our umpteenth short trip. We have 3 children, aged 15, 14 and 6, so our dream of a round-the-world trip is on hold for a few years. But, thanks to our amazing child-carer, we can take short trips of 4-6 days a few times a year.

For me, this is also the beginning of a new life, since I leave my job of 11 years tomorrow, then go home, pack, and drive to the airport :-)
Anyway, with so many changes going on at the same time, I decided it was about time I joined the 21st century, at least with a travel blog.

It's taken about a month of planning to get this far (we are travelling with 2 other couples ...), and our itinerary is:
Wednesday 7th November - fly to Barcelona, a few hours to mooch around, then on to Marrakech via Casablanca, arriving at midnight.
Thursday - day trip to the Atlas mountains: the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, Telouet and Ait Benhaddou
Friday and Saturday - around Marrakech, especially the Souks
Sunday - day trip to Essaouira
Monday - hot air balloon above Marrakech, some last minute shopping :-), and fly home.

That's all for now, I have to get on with closing up shop at work, and last-minute arrangements.
See you all soon,
Debi

At long last ....
Life has been busy, so it's taken ages to get the trip blog up for everyone to read, but it's there now. Read day 5 to find out why we didn't go hot air ballooning in the end ....
