  1. I traveled to Morocco two years ago during the springtime and loved it! I flew into Marrakesh in central Morocco. It was a bit of culture shock at first but amazing to visit the souks and markets, especially Djemaa el Fna, and see the beautiful architecture. I'd recommend staying at a riad with an interior courtyard/garden. Communication was generally easy, although it helps to know a little bit of French in Marrakesh. Also, it's probably good to respect local culture and not wear clothing that's too revealing. I agree that Tangier tends to be a bit more generic since it's a port city and so close to Europe. It was awesome to take the ferry into Sevilla, Spain though! The hardest part for me was probably the food. I loved Moroccan cuisine going into the trip, but it was tough eating it for all meals every day for almost 2 weeks. Morocco is a beautiful and unique country, and the people are friendly (barring super-touristy areas). You'll have a wonderful time! Happy honeymoon-ing!
  2. Thanks all for your welcome! We'll keep you posted!
  3. A couple of girlfriends and I only used Eurorail (no plane trips) to get to multiple cities in Spain and then to Paris (it's been a while, but I think we chose the 5-destination ticket). It was well worth the experience, but it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a cheaper, faster way to travel and are looking forward more to the destination rather than the journey, Ryanair or Easyjet offer good deals within Europe. As far as price, I think the overnight train we took was cheaper than getting a hotel room for the three of us.
  4. Hello all! My fiance Anthony and I got engaged this past June! We haven't set a date yet and think we want a destination wedding with about 50 guests. Our best guess for a wedding date though is late 2009. We're currently tossing around the idea of holding the wedding in Australia, Southern France, or Cairo (my fiance, as I type, has just informed me of some recent kidnappings in Egypt), but we're still trying to compile the short list. A friend of mine whose sister found a lot of information here for her destination wedding referred me to this forum, and we hope to find a lot of information here too. We're very excited to learn of your experiences and hope we can offer any advice to those interested in locations within California (not necessarily wedding stuff but we've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and now in San Diego). Cheers, Gigi
