First Post: Morocco Bound!

I've wanted to write a blog for some time. I quit my job several months ago right before my wedding and so, I really have no excuse not to start now. Eddie and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Morocco so I'm inspired to start there. I hope to add some blogs on prior trips as well.

DAY 1 - Miami!

We were in a rush to catch our early morning flight but thanks to the small size of the airport and the lack of any lines, we breezed through to our gate and were on our way. Our end destination was Tangier but we were flying via Miami and then Madrid. Our layover in Miami was around eight hours - poor us! We had no choice to but to store some of our carry on luggage and grab a cab to South Beach. Eddie had been through Miami before but had never ventured to South Beach. It was fun playing tour guide and showing him some of the sights. We ate at News Cafe. Somehow, it was my first time there and it was fantastic! How do you make eggs so yummy!?

After our late breakfast we wandered the beach and then over to Lincoln Road and Espanola Way. We ended our little South Beach tour appropriately on the beach. Eddie napped while I waded and frolicked in the gorgeous water. This is my ideal. Calm, warm and clear water.

And then it was back to the airport to catch our flight into Madrid.
Goodbye Miami!

Thankfully, we both slept very well and spent a groggy couple of hours in the Madrid airport the next day before heading to Tangier!! Up next...driving challenges in Morocco and the beautiful town of Chefchaouen.
