Spring Break 2011! No Beaches and Margaritas Though?

     Finally unpacked my bag from London (only two weeks later...) and started packing up my bag for a 10 day trip across Morocco, Spain, and France. I knew I was going to have to pack somewhat light because I will have to carry it everywhere. It also has to be under 20 kilograms in order to be considered carryon. For all of you who have travelled with me, you know that my packing skills are fairly limited because I always bring more than I will ever need. Not this trip.  No, this trip's packing requires finese and thought.  New phrase penned for this trip so that we don't kill eachother is 'Noco,' or No Complaining. So that's what I'm going to do about this baggage sitch--Noco.
      Can't remember if I explained what this trip exactly consists of yet, but if all goes as planned we will be flying into Marrakech, which is in Morocco (which is in Africa). We will stay there for three days riding camels and trying not to die. We will then take a bus (we think at least) to Fes, a city suggested to us by many visiters of Morocco, for one day. Then Chefchaouen for another night. The next day is a full travel day. We will bus it up to Tanger and then take a ferry across the Straight of Gibralter to Spain. Upon arriving in Spain, we will immediately take a bus or train to Seville and then crash for the night at our hostel. We will take a plane to Valencia two days later and stay there for the night. In the morning we will take another train to Barcelona and hang out for 4 days. Then fly back on Monday morning to Paris so that we can make our class at 1:30 pm. Sounds like a lot of traveling... We only have one goal: don't get taken.
       Throughout this whole traveling-to-six-different-cities-in-ten-days-fiasco we will hopefully have our eyes opened to new cultures and ways of life and plenty of sun and camels. I also hope to like the people that I'm traveling with after this. We decided that noone may leave the group, especially in Morocco for safety reasons, which will only make this harder to stay sane. So here's to 3 hours of sleep and the craziest spring break I've ever been on.
