Our sons and their families are launched, off to Paris for three nights. Then on to Morocco where we will join up for 2 weeks with OAT Tour Leader Malek, by bus, plane, camel back and 4X4 plus a balloon trip too. The OAT way is to sample all modes of travel that are available. I am not including the entire itinerary here, it will unfold as we travel.
Carol and I leave from San Diego Tuesday and fly to Detroit, then on to Paris, where we will meet up with Dan and his entourage for the flight to Casablanca. After a 90 minute bus ride to Rabat we will all gather there to begin the trip.
Eventually they will fly back to the US and Carol and I will continue on to Tel Aviv for 3 days of R&R by the beach before we join our friends Joyce and Victor for a tour in Ethiopia with a different tour company. That is two weeks and then we return to Jojoba Hills SKP Resort on Jan 24.
We are very excited. the planning for this trip started a year ago as we realized we needed to do something to celebrate our 55 years of marriage (last June 21). Trying to do something in the US has not worked out well, we decided to get the families together with a menu of possible trips. After much back and forth they chose this trip to Morocco with OAT.
I will try to post whenever I have the time and connectivity.
Have a wonderful time celebrating with your family 🎉 Happy New Year too!
Just spent last week in Paris — functions like immobilized Bangkok in the 1980s! With subway down, transportation and traffic are nightmares. Expect 1-2 hours per trip with inflated prices. Uber works but very frustrating. Walking is the best deal around. After a few days in Paris, Morocco will look pretty good and you’ll have lots of Parisian war stories to tell. Have a great trip.
Enjoy. You’ll love Morocco.
We are looking forward to sharing an adventure to Ethiopia with you! Joyce and Victor
