Re: Kilimanjaro Day Trip from Rivertrees Country Inn
We were there a few years ago and they would not let anyone enter Mt. Kilimanjaro unless you paid the full trip, they did have a nice area with a 3D map of the Mt. Went to Arusha National Park for the 5 hour trip that was soooo with it, going back this August and will do it agin. Gary
Re: dinner recommendations
HIGHLY recommend Sahbi Sahbi in Marrakesh. You can ask for kitchen seating to watch them prepare some of the food in the center of the restaurant. Owned and staffed entirely by women. In Rabat, on our day before the tour, we ate lunch at the hotel and then for dinner walked two blocks to Sufra for an early dinner. Nothing fancy but well regarded and the food was delicious. We were also exhausted from a long night of travel and wanted something simple.
Re: dinner recommendations
In Marrakesh there is a roof top restaurant called Sky Venisia which overlooks the square, all the food is local, the place is lovely in Rabat there is a restaurant by the ocean called Borj Eddar.

Re: Received Luggage Tags
Thanks. Those articles are fairly well hidden, so I’m a bit surprised you saw them. I think what happened was this: While visiting a school in Africa we decided to make a ‘donation’ to the school. (via the TD) I think the transaction may have been overheard, and it may have touched off a major fund drive for the school. Everyone on our tour was very generous, and the TD ended up purchasing and dispatching a truckload of supplies back to the school. It was a fun deal. I think we got ‘turned in’ by the TD.

On my Morocco tour with another company I spent three nights in Essaouira, and it was magical!
Re: Trip Report Aegean Voyage, Istanbul to Athens, April 2025
Attire: Good walking shoes are a must. This is a very active tour. Much of the sightseeing involves walking up and down hills,, uneven steps, cobblestones, no railings.
We went in April. Istanbul was cool and windy. We brought layers - fleece and a good rain jacket with a hood. I a!so brought and used light gloves and a buff. The weather became warmer as we went South, and I was wearing shorts at times. I also had and used a sun hat with chin strap.
At the mosques, modest attire required, including a scarf for women. And, you have to remove your shoes.
Sport coats not required. Some men had them. I brought a casual dress, my trusty black pants and white jeans and a few nice shirts for my "dressy" clothes.
Electricity. Used European adapter at both hotels. The ship has US outlets.
The Athens hotel did not provide a washcloth. I had one with me.
