Lol, good luck with that. I remember those English deprivation headaches! If you don't find someone to hang out with, there's always MBC! That was my english friend.

Even better luck with smuggling in a Mountain Dew. That would be a nice change. IMO, the Coke over there is so strong that you can use it for fuel in a car.

I love Mountian Dew!! I remember asking Bijad, the first time I was there, if they had it and he looked at me so strange. Me, being me, thought for sure they had it. We went to the big supermarket in Casablanca and for real, they don't. :( lol

Have fun!!

I've always been a Pepsi person, myself, but I had to try the Coke over there just once, and the Fanta, and I swear I was waiting to feel my teeth go down my throat along with the soda... yuck

Try Schwepp's Citron for a good Mt. Dew substitute ! :thumbs:

Thank you! I'm gonna try it! I guess I'll be back to Topps and generic Orangina :P

I was shocked to discover, after looking it up, that they only sell Dew in the US, Canada, and Australia. So many people are deprived. :crying:

I tried the Mountain Dew throwback.. and I was missing my chemical taste :P They're really excited about her coming.. I'm totally freaked. I've got my cell phone set up to shut off on Feb 11, I'm harbouring my truck at my father's, and bought a suitcase big enough to fit a human being in :lol: trying to gather every liquid baby medicine known to man, extra Karo syrup, 3-6 months clothes, 6 months clothes, and 6-9 months clothes.. I don't know how I'm going to pack this Boppy pillow and Bumbo chair, but life would be hell without them.. The logistics are mind boggling! :crying: Tminus one month and one week until takeoff :blink:

There is a yahoo group called, American Women Living in Morocco. From what I remember, several of the ladies live in Casablanca. Some get together weekly for coffee, breakfast, etc. If you don't have one already, you'd just sent up a yahoo email, then search the groups for that, and then join.

Many of them have had experience on what you need to bring, what can be easily found there, what's more expensive here vs. there, etc.

Good Luck.

They also don't have brown sugar. Sucks when you are in the mood for chocolate chip cookies or pineapple upside down cake. :crying:

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
