Greetings From Maldives

Wishing you were here with us...Where in the world are they you say? At long last, Peter got his dream of staying on a "deserted" island. We are in a Scuba Diver's paradise, The Maldive Islands. Located off the Southern tip of India close to the equator is a slice of heaven. Peter is actually considering returning which is a first. He normally likes to try out as many vacation spots as possible before selecting a favorite. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Male, life has been made much easier on us. We can truly relax and enjoy the sights and sounds. Oh, and the SMELLS!!!!! I LOVE IT! The scented towels and soaps, the oils they have pumping throughout the resort. After months in Shanghai where you do not breathe through your nose, to be able to smell lemon and flowers is a dream for me.




Too bad for Truf that we had to leave him in Shanghai because we are all having a spectacular time: snokeling, my taking scuba lessons, Peter finally using his Dive License and doing dives with me, haircuts, playing in the sand, watching the fish swim at our feet, taking a speedboat out to see dolphins and blue marlin in their natural habitat, having Ty's own mini crab race at breakfast on our table, and Tigs falling asleep in a hammock at Kids Club. The resort is great and the people here are amazing!!!!! Always smiling and happy, anticipating our needs and entertaining Tyler is the most gentle, loving manner. All of this service is done with a genuine care for their guests' well being and happiness. Oh and the FOOD!!!!!! Yummy! I will not want to step on scale when we return. The food is absolutely amazing!

Peter has spent years researching and dreaming of this vacation. He selected the island and his hard work paid off. It is just our style. There are no hidden agendas or pretension here. I think we have found a paradise that is well worth the trip to get here.


There will be more pictures to come in an album but we are trying to enjoy and experience our 7 days in bliss first :)

Mommy & Daddy left me here all by myself and went scuba diving...
