Get Da Fuq “Agadir”!

by Calvin Sun | Jan 16, 2020 | Fit for Foodies, January 2020: The Saharan Odyssey, Morocco

  After 2 days trying to give Marrakech a second chance and nearly giving up, this morning we drove on south to Agadir, with a one hour random stop at CrocoPark, a crocodile-themed park just outside of Agadir.     Amusingly we took on an Escape The Room challenge...

We Wish You A “Marrakech”-mas! (or Marrakech Me Outside and Marrakech My Ass!)

by Calvin Sun | Jan 15, 2020 | Fail, January 2020: The Saharan Odyssey, Lessons Learned, Morocco, The Nightlife, Walking Tours

  From Casablanca, we arrived into Marrakesh, Morocco’s third largest city that continues to teem with sights and sounds that emanate from its historical medina. Although a frustrating place to explore for many travelers as if the rest of the country learned its...

In “Casa-” You “-Blanca” Out, We Got Your Back!

by Calvin Sun | Jan 14, 2020 | January 2020: The Saharan Odyssey, Morocco, Walking Tours

  After 10 days in Algeria, we headed to Oran airport for the 2:20pm Air Algiers flight to Casablanca . . .     . . . arriving at 3:40pm on an otherwise uneventful 1 hour and 20 minute flight.     But just as a reminder as how Morocco had been a frustrating place to...

You’re going to crave slow roasted chicken, beef, or lamb tajines on the rooftops overlooking Morocco, the fresh and perfectly seasoned roasted vegetables, and the happiness of knowing that while Calvin is blogging, he’s not eating, so there’s more...

Running Into Gerard Butler…again

by Calvin Sun | Jan 4, 2012 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fail, Morocco, Serendipitous!, Way Way Off the Beaten Path

They say that 1st time is happenstance, 2nd time is coincidence…   Let it be known that after our first run-in — and now definitely after this second coincidental run-in, Gerard Butler now reads this blog, and I quote from June (left in photo): “It...
You’re Going To Miss It…

You’re Going To Miss It…

by Calvin Sun | Jan 4, 2012 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fit for Foodies, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Post-travel Reflections, Spain, What Dreams May Come, You're Going to Miss It...

  You’re going to miss the freedom of wandering, the days that begun with nothing to expect, the trust in what’s around the corner, the feeling of wanderlust, the time when you were free to do anything that you wanted.     You’re going to miss...
Gerard Butler Is In Marrakech

Gerard Butler Is In Marrakech

by Calvin Sun | Jan 2, 2012 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fit for Foodies, Morocco, Serendipitous!, Way Way Off the Beaten Path, What Dreams May Come

    Usually I would resort to these titles to grab your attention, but if you look at the picture above, you’ll see it’s more than a gimmick. It’s for real: 5 minutes ago we ran into Gerard Butler in the maze of souks within the Marrakech medina....
