Okay, so when I published that post below just now I realised the title I started off with has nothing to do with what I ended up talking about! In my head the topic for the day was, "Update on elective planning!" LoL Thus, do allow me this addendum.
I spent more than a good few hours online this past weekend dreaming of where I want to go in those two weeks holiday I have on my way to The Gambia. Two weeks isn't a lot of time when you think about it and the possibilities are endless! How do I choose? One place I definitely want to go after my recent bout of web-surfing is Tunisia. I have to admit the Arab culture has always fascinated me and reading about the medina in Tunis, the ruins of Carthage, and exploring Saharan Africa... oh man, that really hits the spot. I thought of Morocco as well, but after doing the research and honestly thinking about it I think the main attraction would be being able to say to people, "Oh yeah, I went to Morocco. That Casablanca is pretty cool." Actually, no I lie, that would be reason #2 of 2. Number one would be to visit the Hassan II Mosque: the third largest mosque in the world, it looks out onto the Atlantic which can be seen through the gigantic glass floor for 25,000 worshippers, and one of the few mosques open to visitors. But I remain undecided as to whether that's worth the extra travel time and mu-lah associated with adding an extra city/country onto my two-week agenda. As it stands it looks like Seattle --> Boston/NY --> Tunis --> The Gambia. Now once I get to The Gambia that's a whole other chapter! I'm so excited! Which reminds me, I need to seriously start saving up some money cos all this travelling doesn't come cheap. Fo' sho.
