Over Thanksgiving break, a friend and I decided to take a last-minute trip to Marrakesh on a whim just three weeks later. We booked our flight to Marrakesh without overplanning and trusted that the experience itself would guide us. One of my blogger friends had recently traveled to Marrakesh with her family, so I asked her for her advice on a local tour guide and driver. The trip had a few bumps, but with only three weeks advanced planning, it turned out great. It also reinforces why spontaneous travel can be so rewarding.
