Let’s try some “Rules to Improve a Young Man’s Capabilities to Travel”:<BR/><BR/>1. Begin with the reading: “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” or better “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog” will do;<BR/>2. Choose a career which allows you to travel a lot – concierge is not recommended!;<BR/>3. Start hitch-hiking – see references at “Blogtrotter Revival” or, safer nowadays, embark on a Student’s Exchange Programme;<BR/>4. Get an occupation where you get paid for travelling – for the purpose of enjoying trips, working as a travel agent seems to be only a last instance’s option;<BR/>5. Build your Travellers’ image: Marco Polo, Fernão Mendes Pinto, Vasco da Gama, Cabral, Magalhães – aka Magellan -, Columbus...<BR/>6. Like Bruce Chatwin, make choices: Sotheby’s/Sunday Times Magazine or “Have gone to Patagonia”? Buy or travel?<BR/>7. Choose your motto: “Navigare necesse est; vivere non est necesse” (Gnaeus Pompeius – 108/46 BC - aka Pompey the younger commanding frightened sailors during a severe storm – “to sail is necessary; to live is not necessary”);<BR/>8. It works? You will be able to quote Benjamin Disraeli: “Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen”;<BR/>9. Doesn’t work? Why not trying to join the Salvation Army?…» ;)))<BR/><BR/>Ted Roth,<BR/>Agree with you with regard to the splendid light of Marrakesh!<BR/><BR/>Travelphilippines,<BR/>Fair enough the swap of the villa at Nami with the room at the Red House!!<BR/>As for the rest, have a look at the preceding «Rules»…<BR/><BR/>Lynn,<BR/>Casablanca beach doesn’t seem comparable to Nags Head…<BR/><BR/>Alok,<BR/>You’re welcome; a pleasure to drop by yours!<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>«Almost» sultan, like Leena put it… ;))<BR/><BR/>Ming,<BR/>The colours in Marrakesh are awesome!<BR/>Now Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?

All three cities, the history, the structures, boggle the mind. <BR/><BR/>Oh, in my rolling black bag, I carry my camera, extra battery and memory cards, raincoat and rain hat when I'm not wearing them, sometimes another pair of shoes and/or a sweater, notebook, paperback book, all sorts of stuff.
