The time is near. Another adventure awaits. Northern Africa, Spain and Portugal. All virgin destinations for me. I will be leaving on Saturday for Marrakesh. 30 Hours and 3 flights later. I should arrive in great shape....not. But I am sure the adrenaline will keep me going. Morocco has been a dream destination for me since childhood. Jimmy Hendrix, Paul Bowles, The Rollings Stones, "The Marrakesh Express". Certainly the wild west and a destination of choice for rock stars but will it still have the same abandon and appeal? One way or another I am about to find out. Snake charmers and street food in Jemaa el-Fnaa (try saying that three times fast!!). The luxurious riads to lodge and eat in. Exploring the dying vats and medina in Fes. I cannot wait. A week in Morocco then 36 hours in Madrid on my way to to Portugal to meet up with my travel buddy, Randy. The 2 weeks in Portugal, tasting great wines and great food. A dream trip. This week the packing and organizing is at a fever pitch, all done with an undertone of excitement. The countdown has begun.
