Highlights of Morocco

I am booked on it. Going with my OH and just about to start shopping for stuff.

jules   would like to talk to someone who is going....

HI would like to hear from anyone going on this trip...jules

I and my husband are booked on it. We are both in our early thirties and this is the 1st leg of our honeymoon. Are you travelling solo?

yes I am.  Congrats on your wedding...what a lovely way to spend a honeymoon with us lot!!!  Where do you live?...and where and when are you flying out..best wishes jules

Thank you! The wedding was back in April but we wanted to save up for the honeymoon. We live very close to Bath and fly out from Heathrow on the 23rd. And you? Joy

Hi Joy:  I am flying out on the 23rd too.  Air Maroc 801 17.10.  I am nearly 70 but look 50!!!!!! well my outlook is that of a younger person so hopefully will stand me in good stead!  I usually travel with an old school friend but this time I just needed to get away and I have a friend who lives in Fes so that was my excuse.  She has just found herself a boyfriend in the UK which is great so coming over here for Xmas.  If you want to give me a buzz and I can call you back my number is 01255503750.  I live near Colchester. jules

Hi Jules, We are the same flight! I have saved your number and will give you a call soon. Joy

Hi all, I am coming from Minnesota in the U.S., and will be arriving a day ahead of time. I am travelling solo and really looking forward to this trip.

Hiya, quick note to say 'hi', I'm also booked on this trip.  Travelling alone and looking to some warm weather after this freezing spell!  Brrr!

Think there is a full house, as it was.  Look forward to meeting everyone.

jules  hi Yen :  there are about 8 of us solo I think so should form a good group!!! where are you coming from???  Hopefully you can read the above and know what flight some of us are on...look forward to meeting you Sunday week...best wishes jules (julia)

Hi:   Sandra welcome...as you can tell from the above I think a few of us are flying out on the same trip..so look forward to meeting you...not sure I still look like the photo on the left.. !!! I am booked through Imaginative Traveller so don't have an Exodus baggage label but hopefully will find you if on same flight out of London...best wishes jules

Hi Sandra and Yen, Nice to "meet" our fellow travellers. I'm so excited and have started packing already. Quick question, what would be a reasonable amount of cash for the duration of the holiday? I'm planning a mixture of cash and card. Joy

Hi Joy:  Hard to say but I would take a couple of hundred pounds and then use the card in major cities...so hard to say as not been there before...best wishes jules

Hi Jules,

I'm based in Birmingham and will be on the same flight week Sunday.

See you all then 

Yen

Thanks Yen look forward to meeting you...best wishes...jules

Thanks Yen. Very useful!

Looking forward to meeting you all. Quick question, wondering if you packing hiking boots? It sounds like we will only need them for one day. I don't really want the extra weight in my luggage if they are really not necessary.

HI Sandra:  no am just taking a pair of sturdy walking shoes...and will also probably throw in my old trainers and a pair of sandals.  I am not spending the night with you in the desert ..I will stay behind in Merzouga (have two hip transplants!!) but am taking a small lightweight sleeping bag just in case.  I am not taking warm trousers as I think we will be fine with ordinary walking ones..if you know what I mean..Where are you flying from??? best wishes jules

Not taking any hiking boots either. Have packed trainers and normal walking shoes for both of us as well as walking sandals for me and lightweight trousers. We both get easily hot and uncomfortable.

Thanks all. I think I will skip on the hiking boots too. 

Jules, I am flying from Minneapolis to Casablanca, by way of Paris. I will be arriving a day ahead of the group. 

So we'll look forward to meeting you in Casablanca...so sad a story about the school children...only 7 days left !!! Have a good flight over..jules
