MY NAME: Jayme

Where you're from: Los Angeles, CA

SO's name: Zouhir

Where he's from in Morocco: Casablanca/Sidi Kacem

How long he's been here: Never been yet. He has his K1 Visa Interview in Casa on May 13th!

Anything else to add: Met Zouhir randomly at a beautiful hotel in Tangier. He was working there.

Have you been to Morocco? I've been to Morocco 5x since January 2008 and going for my 6th time in 2 weeks to help Zouhir prepare for his interview. His family is wonderful. We've traveled all over from Tetuoan, Tangier, Ifrane, Fez, Casa, El Jadida, Rabat, Marrakech, Oreika, Agadir & Taghazout. I'm learning chwiya Arabia from him and want to take French so I can speak with his family. He speaks English well and we both speak Spanish. I pray he gets his Visa and will be walking on the Santa Monica beach with me sometime in June. Nice to meet all of you!

Wow I wish we could go back to Morocco soon. Money is a big issue for us now. I know it's hard for Tarik now to be away from his family and I'd love to go back just for a while :)

I can't ever find tickets for anything less than $1500!

Hey Jayme we just spent a few days in your area right before the heat wave hit, of course it has followed us over here too :P

Hey Samira - Yes it was very warm here but I loved it! I'm in Santa Monica by the beach so we get a nice breeze and usually 10 degrees cooler than downtown LA or the Valley.

Also, for cheaper flights to Morocco. I usually fly to Madrid and there are good tickets on American Airlines and Iberia. Then I buy a separate ticket on www.easyjet.com and they have cheap flights from Madrid to all cities in Morocco. I have a round trip ticket from Madrid to Casa in a couple weeks for like $125. So if you can get a flight to Madrid for $600, the ticket will be much cheaper than $1500.

Also, go to www.bookingbuddy.com to see all the different options. www.vayama.com is also good.
