Weekend Fun

We had a great weekend. We hung out with friends on Thursday night (our last work day of the week), Friday we went to the spa and had a nice steak dinner, then we rented wave runners today. Sara is at Emirates Palace watching a London orchestra concert with a friend from work.

Maldives Water Villa

End of March we took a long weekend to the Maldives. The Maldives are a group of islands (atolls) South of India near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. It was a 4 hour direct flight from Dubai to Male and then from Male airport, we took a sea plane to the Conrad Rangali Resort. The flight over the mutiple islands was terrific.

We had a water villa that overlooked gorgeous blue water. We saw a shark and sting ray from our balcony. Sara stepped on a dead sea urchin while playing in the water outside our villa. The islands were amazing. The resort had 2 full spas over the water. Each spa room had an outdoor toilet. They have an undersea restaurant in which we saw a large Eel while eating lunch. The snorkeling was some of the best we've ever seen...probably the best. Excellent food, wine, and relaxation. Enjoy the pics!
