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.
