Search Engine Strategies Expo was over in the Docklands . We celebrated a fantastic Valentines Day/evening and then headed back to the Crowne Plaza.

Around 3 am Greg told me that they wanted to go to Paris.

We were all drinking and I just thought it was a fantastic idea. Somewhere around 3:30-4 am Greg announces that we should just stay up and head to the train station by 6 am. I don’t know how any of them were standing as they were up the whole night before. I was a wienie and ran to bed.

Sure enough within a couple hours they were pounding at my door. I have no clue the time but maybe 6-6:30. It was pitch black outside. They were already bright and cheery. They had cabbies and ate breakfast!

The train station. Barbara, Rebecca, Scott, Dax and Greg are in the middle.

As we departed most of us were asleep before the train even took off. Well with exceptions of when Scott was nudging me (private).

Notice that our group is the only ones asleep. I also lost my spot because I didn’t want to *wake anyone*, when came back from my breakfast!

This trip had all the essentials that would make for the ultimate ride! I don’t want to focus on the bad or scary parts, as there were many, but to focus on how a couple hours can create a life change.

Tangier is the most northern part of Africa. It has a beautiful mix of Arabic, African, Spanish and French influences.

For starters, Marie Howell (SEObiker) and I discussed going to Morocco before planning the trip to Spain. I personally wanted to go since a young child.

Marie and I both felt very prepared for anything: Marie besides being highly intelligent and running a successful business - she speaks multiple languages, races motorcycles and has gone to “economically challenged” areas in South America many times.

Once in Spain we told my dear friend, Sally, we wanted to go to Tangier. Sally is also highly intelligent and one of the most well travelled and adventurous friends that I have. She has been all over the globe and speak many languages! She has seen the pyramids and has been to many exotic locations and third world countries. She also is very proper and sophisticated. (more…)
