Virgin Islands National Park

The Virgin Islands National Park covers about 3/5ths of the island of St. John and also includes 5,650 acres of submerged lands, and most of Hassell Island in the harbor of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas.

Created in 1956 from lands donated by the philanthropist Rockefeller family, the park continues to dazzle and amaze visitors to this day.

On St. John there are three notable beaches to explore, at Hawksnest, Trunk and Cinnamon Bays.

Marrakech desert tour to Merzouga

The four of us (two boys aged 3 and six) and my husband and I landed in Marrakech, not knowing what to expect from our first trip to Morocco. We
enjoyed staying in the Medina and taking in the sights and flavors and
smells of the busy tourist area in the city, but the highlight was
without a doubt Morocco Excursions.

Our driver picked us up
from our Riad in a large, clean, comfortable car and made sure to stop
at all the highlights along the way, like a monkey forest, and the
Switzerland of Moroco to make the time pass faster for us and the kids.
He was very knowledgeable and kind.
Once we arrived in Merzouga,
the magic began. It was beautiful, peaceful, and everything that we ate
the entire visit was absolutely delicious. For our son’s birthday,
Hassan Mouhou and his friends serenaded him with Berber music and a
cake; he said it was his best birthday ever! We spent one night in
tents in the Sahara. They drove us there (adreneline pumping ride!) off
road through the desert – a beautiful experience for all of us. Again,
the food and music and company were perfect.

We couldn’t have
done it with out Hassan and his team. They really gave us a trip to
remember forever. And the price was really fair and moderate. Not a
single complaint.
