Hi! You know we love to travel, and our honeymoon will be no exception. It's gonna be a beach-goin, rock-climbin, souk-shoppin extravaganzer!

Not happy with just any old honeymoon, we've got an ambitious journey. Please help us make it a reality!

We'll be heading to Madrid, and then immediately down to the Canary Islands (off the coast of Morocco). We'll spend Christmas there, missing our families, but enjoying some sun!

From there, it's back to Spain, where we'll be visiting Sevilla, Granada, and rock climbing in the Sierra Nevadas.

Then it's across the Straight of Gibraltar, where we'll head immediately to Fez. Fez, the medieval capital of Morocco, has the world's largest ancient pedestrian city - lots of green tea and haggling in the markets for leather goods. It's been a dream location of Dan's for years, and is now one of Darci's as well.

Then it's back onto a plane...and home!

Travel from Granada to Fez, Morocco - to be honest....I haven't worked out the best way to do this. But I'm pretty sure it will involve a bus, a boat, a car, and probably a camel. Adventure!
