It's now time to do a wrap up on my fall trip to Morocco. In a last hurrah, both Gimpy and I have deemed this as our last "big" trip together. Over the years we've been fortunate enough to do embark on some amazing adventures. So we ensure we put an exclamation mark on our time travelling together! If you've spent anytime to read through the trip, Thank You! If you haven't and want to, you can...

Moncton Morning From our hotel room, we were treated to a lovely sunrise over the water. Admittedly I did sleep through the start of it, but these photos are courtesy of the parental minions!

We start heading down the coast towards...

Like with other longish trips, I try to ask a travel buddy or two to share their thoughts. I sent Gimpy a list of questions so she could share her impressions about New Zealand with us!
