Riding-on-the-Marrakesh-Express DO Dec. 16-18, 2011

Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
Traveling the train through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
...
Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express


Dec. 16 (Fri): The usual suspects assemble in Casablanca
Dec. 17 (Sat): --> Marrakesh on the train ("Marrakesh Express")
Dec. 18 (Sun): Marrakesh

There appear to be 9 trains daily, so we'll take one in mid/late afternoon for those who can't arrive until Saturday. Unlike Graham Nash, I expect most of us will opt to stay en 1ère Classe.

As best I can tell, this will be the first FT DO on the African continent. There was one in Tenerife in the Canary Islands a while back, but those are Spanish territory & not on the African mainland itself.

They're taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board
