2013 Morocco

(ssalamū 'lekum) - " اسلا عليكم  " Hi  

We had heard all the "it's dangerous" spins on traveling in Morocco. For months family and friends were warning us about traveling there. And we get it, lots of places have their risks.  But if you plan travel around the Travel Dangers Section of the US Embassy website - you'll never leave your driveway.  (From the words of T.S.) ... never.... like....ever.  It did get into our heads a little, though. So much so that we changed our itinerary before we even left the US and spent the later part of our journey traveling through London and Paris. As lovely as they are, we are really bummed we didn't keep the full trip in Morocco. Another week would have been perfect to see the northern coast and Fez. Oh well. A lesson learned. So from now on we shall stick to our gut. We'll tell everyone what I always say to my Mom: "Say what you will, I'm going to do what I want anyway".  Maybe from now on we play the Where-the-hell-are-Brian-and-Marisha-game and not tell anyone where we are going until we get there.....Thank you Matt Lauer for that idea.
