... br>All being well we'll have managed to cram our worldly possessions into a combined 155 litres of rucksack without too many arguments over whether Clarins Face Products are classed as "essential" and also with a bit of luck our baggage will have made it's way onto the same aeroplane as us : ) and we'll be winging our way to London, next stop Bangkok! <br><br>A&amp;Px<br>

Last brief entry, just to say we are safely back home, arriving yesterday with Sue picking us up at Manchester airport.<br><br>We've had a fantastic trip - very memorable! Thank you for following our trip. Hope it hasn't been boring, certainly hasn't for us.

Ok......so the nerves are kind of kicking in, actually no I was more nervous last weekend. But now I am just VERY excited. Cannot wait to see what it's going to be like. The anticipation is killing me more than anything, the not knowing. the completely different ...

... up turning into a full scale yelling match between two of the faculty members, and I wish I could tell you why. All I can say is what I learned from the experience- Americans (me) are way to innovative and the British (them) are very defensive to their ways. In the end they said my input (the suggestion that they produce a handout of course info for international students) was excellent and they thanked me. I was very confused ...

... whilst the woman next to me was definitely fidgety on both occasions too. Now call me cynical, but WTF have they got to be worried about, eh? They're obviously saved already, they have just been on a pilgrimmage, surely they're going to be well in with the Big Man?

... So we are flying out of Manchester at 7.40 tomorrow - which equates to an early get up, even though the airport is only 20 minutes away - and arriving in Marrakech approximately 4 hours after. And then I really have no idea... we are going to see what happens :) The only expectations I have are formed on a little snippet of chaos that was The Apprentice does Marrakech ...

... from jewelry makers and photographers to naked dancing while smothering each other with honey. That first bit was true but not the naked part. The coolest thing i saw, which i wanted to buy for lisa but couldn't because she was next to me the whole time was a silver necklace whith a little silver shopping list on it, so very cute. Urbis was our next stop which i suppose is manchesters version of federation square, or something like it ...

... The first day we walked from Rotherhithe to the London Eye following the Thames which was really nice, and had very few complaints from the offspring so it must have been vaguely interesting. From the Eye we caught a bus back to the hostel. The next day we did Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Harrods, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park before meeting a newly-discovered ...

Ok, this is one of my favourite entries so far. Nothing has compared to the first time I set foor inseide Old Trafford, climbed the millions of stairs to the top of the North Stand and walked out to the seats. The view that greeted me was, to a 13 year old, magical. As I settled in my seat with my uncle and cousin around me, the crowd started ...
