Maldives

Simply put, this place is heaven on earth. I'll keep this entry short and sweet. We spent five relaxing days in the Maldives and recharged our batteries. Though we loved Seychelles, this is our favorite island spot. It beats Hawaii by a landslide, too. Basically, you stay on one of the 1200 islands or so that make up this country. Most resorts own the entire island. We took a sea plane to the resort and spent all of our time on or near the water. We took a sea kayake around the island (which took only an hour), and went snorkeling.

We also met Peter and Tomke from Germany (see photo below). We shared dinner, drinks, and a great deal of laughs with our new friends. If the stars align, we may have an opportunity to spend time with them over the summer while we are in Europe. Great people, great times.
