Thank you everyone for the help. We had a fantastic time and will certainly consider returning.
We mostly stuck to the plan, but we spent more time in Assilah, Chefchouen, Essaouira, and the Atlas mtns. We found very little of interest in Jadida, Casa, Cueta, Rabat or Marrakech and left those as soon as we could.
All of my travel time estimates were fairly accurate except for the ridiculous amount of time it took us to transit Casa and Rabat and the surrounding cities on our way from Essaouira to Assilah. We had no problem at all making Meknes to Merzouga in about 5hrs, and that was easily some of the best scenery of the trip.
We found the people outside the big cities to be as friendly and helpful as any country we've ever seen and we'll certainly consider returning one day, perhaps to retire in Assilah or Chefchaouen.
