How many of you would be up for an organized MENA event in Orlando like going to EPCOT morocco? I could work on inexpensive hotel arrangements for everyone and like a fun group weekend. I think it would really be a blast.. Like sometime in the summer or fall and then a dinner out and an epcot day?

If I were closer I certainly would be up for it....sounds like fun:)

I think with enough planning it could be amazing fun. I really think it would be fun to have one. I will be 9 months pregnant in September. Maybe I should have a birthing room party and make someone my DOULA.. I spend more time with you guys reading these boards than I have lately with real life friends....

By the way, on the day of my husbands interview , my daughter has a childrens olympics at the community pool from 10 to 12 . Hopefully by the time I go to the pool , we will have an answer by then. Its a long trip to Algiers thats for sure.. I am starting to get really nervous

blew my disney $ on my tubal reversal but if i hadn't i'd be there! We went there last April. Here are some pics of Morocco:

I would be totally up for it I'm only a few hours away

We'll have to see how much money I have at that point - I'm still waiting for my doctor's bills from the hospital and follow ups

Hachemi and I are coming that way sometime late summer. There is a friend I met on VJ when I first joined and her Algerian husband that live in Palm Bay. We stay in touch by phone and internet. Hachemi and Farouk have become great friends but we have never met in them person. I will let you know when we finalize our plans. Maybe we can meet up. I would love to take Hachemi to Disney World.

We can do it real low budget and ala cart. I need a good time frame and head count

I am sure the trip will be amazingly fun....I am sure the interview will go well...and perhaps you can relax w/ur feet in the water?! That would be nice.....keep us posted:) Melinda

I hadn't even heard of Epcot Morocco before. I wish my husband could take some time off work and go there. I think he would enjoy it. Maybe some day.

I saw it and liked it. I liked many of them but my favorite was France. Sorry I can't afford to go though I would love to! I have school and I'm looking for work to save the money to go see him at winter break.

My mom and I went to EPCOT and ate at one of the Moroccan restaurants almost 20 years ago... - doesn't seem that long ago but it was in '91, that was the last and only time I was there - would love to go back. The food was really amazing as I recall, but you have to book a table way in advance because it is very popular.
