Honeymoon cruise, Mediterranean Cruise

Mediterranean Cruises from Barcelona to Venice.  Greek Cruises Baltic or Black Sea Cruise . Yacht excursions in Turkey, cruises on the Nile. Tours of ancient sites in Greece and Spain.

An outdoor café in sunny Seville . . . the Moorish charms of La Mezquita in Cordova (Cordoba) . . . the splendour of the Alhambra palace in Granada. No wonder the south of Spain has been numero uno for romantic travellers over the years.

Imagine exchanging your wedding vows in a cozy whitewashed chapel attended by a select group of family and friends, and stepping out into the brilliant sunshine of Andalusia. You'll while away the afternoon over apéritifs at outdoor cafés in centuries-old plazas, thrill to the rhythm of flamenco, sample tapas and exotic creations from the great chefs, and retire to the secluded hideaway of a gracious inn, when all you need is each other.

Make it a reality. Travel in style can tailor an Iberian romance exactly to measure: Wedding vows in a chapel just for the two of you, or all the arrangements for a party of family and friends . . . a honeymoon in a village of castles, a Mediterranean beach, the charm of Portugal added on, or even an interlude in the casbah in nearby Morocco

Or, celebrate with family and friends to mark a special occasion, or simply for no reason at all . . . or take a break from your European posting, with all details arranged by trusted people who understand exactly what you're looking for.

Travel in Style will see to every detail, from the officiating to private guide, to transport, to custom touring. It's as easy as letting us know the number of guests and where you'd like to celebrate.

With our intimate knowledge of Iberia and Morocco, and our network of contacts, we'll provide a quotation in short order, usually by the next day at the latest.

Thinking of special-occasion travel? Make it a fiesta with Travel in Style!

What others say about our service in Morocco

April 8, 2007

Lebes (Berber greeting) or sbah ikheer (Arabic for good morning)!

Spring break is about over and it's back to work tomorrow. It will be a shorter week at CAS for me because on Thursday I'll be leaving for the Optimal Match Conference (SPED and Technology) in Rabat. Last year I
attended the conference in Madrid, Spain. I'm eager to see if the teachers from Rome, Paris, and Barcelona who I met last year will be attending this year. It is great to network with other teachers and find out about their programs plus hear about new and innovative strategies. The presenters are from the US.

Paul is currently enroute between Casablanca and Amsterdam with arrival due in the US at about 5:30 tonight and then back to work for him tomorrow. We had a fantastic week of touring and seeing more of
Morocco - a truly remarkable country with beaches, mountains, deserts, and everything in between in a relatively small area. Paul will send from his email account a number of pictures which might give you an idea of
our experiences this past week.

Trekking in the Amizimiz area while seeing the Atlas Mountains with its picturesque landscapes and Berber villages was quite remarkable. Our guide Said served us Moroccan tea and a lamb tagine for lunch in his
home. As you can see from the photo they also decided to dress us up in the typical Berber attire for lunch.

We continued on with the drive through the High Atlas Mountains crossing through the Tizi N' Tichka Pass and descended down through the Draa Valley stopping to see ancient Kasbahs (fortified palaces) and to the
caravan-town of Ouarzazate (movie site of The Mummy, Black Hawk Down, Babel, Syriana, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.). Enroute we stopped to hike up Ait Benhaddou and up the sandstone hill which has been the site for
a variety of movies including Gladiator. People still live in this UNESCO World Heritage village including Uemna and her husband. She invited us in to see her cave dwelling in the side of the hill and shared delicious
home-grown almonds.

Our next two nights were spent in the desert. The first night was at Zagora and in the middle of a sandstorm. Paul thinks that I probably have never been so grouchy upon awaking in the morning after a night spent trying to breathe while attempting to sleep in our nomad Berber tent amongst a haze of blowing sand. I think that the sand is all out of our ears by now. The next night after some fun camel riding we enjoyed a night on the Merzouga Desert in a deluxe tent under the stars.
Both nights we had our own private concert with talented musicians and dancers entertaining us with traditional Gnaouan music and delicious Moroccan cuisine.

It was interesting to study the information displayed on Paul's GPS in the mountains, deserts, etc. In the photo you can see our Moroccan friend and Paul discussing the merits of such equipment. We read in one
of the tour books that it is difficult for tourists to locate their reserved auberges (lodging accommodations) or tent sites and that they are encouraged to call ahead for the GPS coordinates in order to locate the correct place in the Sahara Desert.

Riding out into the golden dunes near Merzouga on camels to see the sunset was so much fun while watching four-wheel-drive vehicles zipping up and down the sand dunes (some in preparation for the Dakar Rally).
All too soon it was time to start the travel back to Casablanca via Fez.
On one of our stops we fed peanuts to the Barbary apes near Ifrane.

Staying in the Riad Dar Al Andalous was an experience of seeing more of the history and culture of Fez. Here we had one more example of the challenges of communication in a foreign country. Paul asked if he should pay for a Coca Cola and before he knew it he was being enthusiastically escorted into the kitchen to meet the 'cook' (Coke).

Living and visiting in an international setting is truly an exciting and stimulating experience.

A week after leaving Casablanca via train we arrived back in Casa with our very informative and helpful driver Hamid. Now, we have the memories and the pictures (and a few souvenirs) to enjoy of this
adventure in another area of incredible Morocco.

Our time in Morocco is fast approaching an end with one last trip
before returning home to Minnesota. At this point we are thinking of exploring more of Spain and the Moroccan coast of the Mediterranean.

M'a ssalama (goodbye - Arabic)

Paul and Dixie
