Thursday, arriving in Spain Friday the 20th, leaving on the 23rd or 24th.
Not much time to arrange it.
However if you can't manage that, then see about visiting Morocco any time from the 25th onwards flying to Casablanca or Fes airport, whichever's best and cheaper (probably Casa) . i can meet you wherever and whenever is necessary.

We would both be delighted.
And you would stay with us, of course which would save on the hotel and food bills.
As long as you don't mind eating nothing much but cheese.

I have informed the donkey.
But I'm not sure he understands the concept of urgent.
The Train should hopefully arrive with donkey in Algiers tonight.

Good evening Adam.

Believe me, that donkey may understand what is meant by "urgent" - you never know.

In Algiers? What of Jordan?

Cheese cheese cheese!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Cheese cheese cheese!

POINTS ! ! !
The donkey has to change trains at Algiers to get another eastwards through Algeria. So it's on the way.

Not in Morocco - the locals are mostly teetotal in Muslim countries

In Saudi Arabia, alcohol was outlawed. They also outlawed rubbing alcohol because some people ended up killing themselves trying to drink it. In the hospitals, the only alcohol they had were pre-moistened sponges in foil packets.

I am tempted to write an alternative ending, but must try to restrain myself.

Maybe after you write the real ending, you could write an alternative ending for all of us.

POINTS FOR ME - GREAT! Thanks Adam, but what of the TWO Olis? No points for them?

When will the donkey get here?

I am basically given an itinerary from another company and have to rewrite it and add to it to make it unique and attractive to customers.
This is one I have to rewrite today, adding bits and making it sound irresistible.

The most important thing for me is the free and quick transport, as coaches are uncomfortable and take forever as well as only going to one place and there is no train service to most of the country, especially the south.And I don't drive. But free guides, camel treks (BOO!), entry to some of the places and the chance to just leave the tour when I reach somewhere where the fossiling is good is excellent news.

Ah, now it makes sense. I’m sure you’ll especially enjoy the camel treks
It does sound fascinating!

Good plan!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

POINTS FOR ME - GREAT! Thanks Adam, but what of the TWO Olis? No points for them?

No points for them, they haven't done anything.
As for the donkey, i don't know, it's very hard to predict these things.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

woohoo!!! it also means could have a beer

Will get some in, of course, but not too many!

Missing the gym sounds pretty good to me.
And no work tomorrow sounds even better.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Camel burgers, yes, camel trek, no.
But i'll have to grin and bear it as the alternative would be a 90 minute walk through the Saharan sand to the camp and, as you may know, walking through the desert sand is extremely tiring and would ust about kill me these days, i should think.

My favorite brand in cars is Subaru. I drive a Subaru Outback ( 13 years old ) and I love this car.
4-wheel drive, enough space for all the stuff I want to transport and a really reliable car. Without the whole electronic sh*t of new cars.

I looked up your "Tacoma". It is a big "ship" ! I love big cars. How much gas does he takes ?

It'll hold $50 worth.
I only buy Toyota vehicles. Including Lexus and Scion.
As a mechanic, I don't want to come home and have to repair a car.
I also normally just ride Kawasaki motorcycles.
I have currently a ZX14R Ninja.
My wife, however has a Honda Firestorm 1000.
The other motorcycle is the one that @Tidgy's Dad sent me. It's a middle eastern model.

Subaru are much more common in the northern states.
There's not much snow here and no mountains taller than 18".
