I have to tell on myself......

I blew it. Big time.

Tom and I made plans with a guide to spend the day showing us around Morrocco. Tom wasn't comfortable with us wanderingarouns Africa without a guide, so I found one recommended by our friend Rick. Aziz would meet us at the port in Tangier (he had already set up our catamaran tickests for us) with a sign with our name on it. He would then spend the day taking us on a "Grand Tour" of Tangier.

It was all set and we considered it the highlight, and splurge of our trip.

The only problem is.... I had travelers brain.... You need to have a mild awareness of what day it is when you travel so you know when to change accommodations, move to another town, or catch a flight or train somwewhere, otherwise the days kind of run together. I somehow put the Tangier DAY and DATE in different places. I didn't realize I had the wrong day of the week until the guide called to ask why we weren't on the boat. BAD WORD! BAD WORD!!!! (actually there were MANY more bad words) 186 euro down the drain???? That's over $300.!!!! And our big, special, awesome day in AFRICA????

I called and apologised profusely for having made the mistake, after all our guide Aziz had kept his day open for us. He was VERY understanding and offered to have an associate take us on the tour the next day because he already had another comittment. He said there had been no bad intent and he would arrange the next day (the day I had in my memory bank) for us.

That was it....we lost the opportunity to have Aziz as our guide, and I was sad about that, but we didn't lose our entire special day! Thank you, Thank you.... a million times THANK YOU  Aziz. I know the universe will be good to you in return.
