Holy crap! We're going on vacation! How! Many! Exclamation! Points! Must! We! Use! To! Express! Our! Excitement?!!
I (Mary) began really focusing on a Europe trip about six months ago and started to make plans with a close friend. Unfortunately life and circumstance stepped in and I was left planning solo. You would think by my age I would be comfortable traveling alone -- no biggie, right? Well I thought so too, until the time actually came to do it and I began to feel very unsure. But after many phone calls back home, it turns out big sis had a plan: what if she just came with me?
Now, you can probably imagine how I (Elizabeth) simply hate traveling through beautiful foreign countries....I mean, I live in Edmonton, god knows it's the epicenter of culture and architectural beauty (oooh, and the weather....). Nevertheless, upon hearing Mary's travel woes I looked deep within myself and, out of the kindness of my generous and undeniably selfless heart, acquiesced to help sweet sis through this disappointment. Would I accompany her? I would.
And so we're off. Well, in three weeks time. We'll be visiting Paris, Chefchaouen, Asilah, Seville (or maybe Malaga?), Granada/Alhambra and Barcelona.
Would you guys help us out by suggesting any hostels/restaurants (we really really like to eat)/monuments/shopping destinations (some of us really really like to shop)/must-sees or perhaps a way to travel between Chefchaouen & Asilah that's not a complete headache? We'd really appreciate it. Comment! We need your advice! We're up for anything!
Merci buckets, M + E.

I went on a Barcelona/Monaco/Paris trip waaaay back in high school, so I remember little. However, I recall Avignon and Nice being quite charming.
There is much in Paris (have you been before?), of course. One of my must-sees is the Centre Pompidou. Architecturally significant, even if many hate it, and a pretty great art collection.

And of course, that there Sagrada Familia you have pictured in Barcelona. It's worth a gander. (!)
Yay! This sounds so fun!
Oh my god. So much fun!!! Ack! Trying to keep the old green eyes at bay.
Try to blog when you are there so I can see your adventures!
