This is going to be the least planned trip ever

You may remember that I recently went on an epic vacation to Argentina followed by a tour that included the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica.  I got back less than a month ago and the thought of putting as much energy into my next trip (in 6 weeks) as I did into that one, well, it seemed exhausting. 

I have had to put a bit of effort in though.  I booked my flights with Air France.  I get to spend 10 hours in Paris on the way there and overnight on the way back.  I land two days before the tour starts and I leave one day after it ends.  So, some hotels are needed.  To my favourite hotel site:  Booking.com.  

Again, lazy planning, keep that in mind and don't judge my lack of adventurousness.  I just booked two nights into the hotel where the tour starts in Casablanca.   It is fine.  Big hotel.  Whatever.  At least I don't have to take a taxi again.  Hotel Gomissine.  The tour info states that we don't spend any time in Casablanca so hopefully two days will do (I'm sure it won't). 

I ran into a bit of trouble trying to book into the hotel where the tour ends in Marrakesh. The hotel is fully booked!  So, I looked around but, curse you Booking.com, they showed me the top rated hotel in the city and it is beautiful.  Nowhere near the hotel with the tour, but did I mention it is beautiful!  And top rating (9.6!) and on sale!   Additional taxi be damned, I booked.  Riad Mazaj.  Hey, they have airport service.  This just gets better and better!  

And then, the least imaginative of all, my overnight in Paris. I arrive at 8pm and leave at 10am so I just got a hotel in the airport.  There is a train from the airport into the city, which I will definitely take advantage of for my day there but I'm not sure about the overnight bit.  We'll see where am at when the time comes.  

You know how sometimes you plan and sometimes you don't...

Have you ever bought something that you took the time to research and find the best option for that thing.  And then other times you just happen to be walking by a store and you see some random thing and you say, that looks nice, and then you buy it.  

Or when you research a trip to Antarctica and choose the very best option and then wait almost two years to go on that trip.  But another time, you look at G Adventures website and see a trip to Morocco is on sale and you book it for next month.  Me too!  

I just booked a trip to Morocco in January/February.  I have dinner guests coming in a couple of hours so I will write more later.  

But, I'm going to Morocco.  Next month.  Hmm, should I have given this more thought?  Nah.
