Packin my bags... flight tomorrow

It is now just a few hours before I have to wake up to go to London so that I can fly down to Morocco. OK so this is not my bag but I was too lazy to take a picture of it.


I am excited and plan to try and sleep after some tomato soup. I am not sure where all I will make it in Morocco but I am hoping it is as fun as I think it is going to be. Wish me luck.

Africa Plans

With Morocco looming in the near future I am trying to make my plans a little more solid before the trip takes off on the 6th of July. The plan as of now is as follows:

I catch a bus from Birmingham to London early on the morning of the 6th.

Then I catch a flight to Casablanca, Morocco where i will spend a couple of nights at a hostel in town.

After 2 nights in Casablanca I am off to Marrakesh for an undetermined amount of time and then I have the options of:
The Atlas Mountains
The Sahara Desert
Back to beaches of Morocco

Under all normal circumstances I would go with desert, but given the time of year that could prove to be a very hot mistake. The Atlas mountains seem likely to be the best choice due to the cooler climate and I am guessing beaches are the same just about anywhere.

The Travels are Set to Continue

It has been a long time since I actually traveled (because I no longer count living in England as traveling), so I am ready to pack up and go again. The next group of trips will take me eventually back to the USA but not before stopping in a few more locales.

My first stop will be this weekend in Derry located in Northern Ireland. I have been all over Great Britain but have yet to see anything in Northern Ireland so a good weekend trip should give me a taste of it.

After this short trip I come back to England for a week or so before heading to Africa. I fly into Casablanca, Morocco on the 6th for about 2 weeks of exploration. I am not sure what parts of the country I will see quite yet but I know that Marrakesh is a definite.



At the end of July my tenure and my lease here in England are over so I am heading off to Eastern Europe to hopefully hit a few good beaches in Croatia and maybe track down Dracula in Transylvania.


To wrap up the trip I am hoping to hit Spain if timing and money permits before heading back home in September or so to start a whole new adventure.
