I will be going to Morocco in a couple of weeks and I am looking to get a
tax free pocket PC (IPAQ 4700 or Toshiba e800). Are these likely to be
available at Marrkech airport? I am sure it will be cheaper there than

My travel itinerary shows aircraft type: IL-19 turboprop.

We recently rented from Alamo in HNL for 8 days.  The shuttle to and from
their offsite facility was prompt, the car was clean, low-mileage, and in
