Well, here it goes! I'm in the airport, about to get on the plane, and it's definitely actually happening...finally! I have been planning this trip for so long, but in the process somehow hadn't really thought that much about the day of departure. ha ha. I'm not heading out of the states right away. There's a quick stop in Seattle, then it's on to Frankfurt, Casablanca, and then Fes. The whole thing will take about two days, but I am spending the night in Casablanca, so I'm not sure that really counts as travel time. It should be a nice respite before finishing the last leg of the first part of my journey. I'll get in at 4:30 in the afternoon, probably arrive at the hotel by 5:30, settle in, and then either sleep or explore. We will see! :-)
