Hi sherry, thats actually my name too haa! If you are with your fiance, believe me you will still get looked at haa! Safi is nice, a bit dumpy in areas but some of the people are so nice! And the food is awesome! I didnt eat any mcdonalds or anything like that haa and I still gained a few poounds!

I dont know if you are muslim or not (Iam) but if you arent, please wear the long robe out of respect for the culture, and if you go purchase anything take your fiance with you so you dont get over charged! Make sure he is picking you up as if you take taxi from casablanca to safi the cabbie may try charge you a lot, like $200 or more! Make sure on your bank card it has that 'plus' sign on back so you can use the atm machines, and have copy of where the canadian or american embassy is in rabat (I think they had the american one closed for awhile, not sure contact them and find out if you live in usa), and copy your passport and have family member keep copies and take copies with you

Allah forbid you have it lost or stolen. Learn about the currency difference between our dollar and their durham. Look up on net a currency converter and figure out diff between 20, 50, 100 durhams etc.... its easy to just beleive someone tell you different! Take pictures haa and get them developed there in case the customs xrays things in airport do something to the film. Keep your eyes open and guard up a bit and have fun! I think they have new law of you have to show you have sufficient funds to cover your stay there, if you use credit cards then youre ok.
