I was going through some old files and found some pictures from one of the most interesting hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Two years ago I took my only trip to Venezuela.

Chicken curry
I know some of you have been in some pretty swanky airport lounges, but have you ever seen anything as tempting as this bin of chicken curry at the Male airport lounge? I have the feeling it’s been here for quite some time. Now it’s time to start our two day journey home!
Heading back to home and thinking of our next trip
Today is our last day in paradise, we have thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at the Conrad Maldives and would easily consider it #1 on the places that we’ve been. I’m laying in my superior king water villa looking out the glass doors at the midnight blue waters rolling by. We have a long, long way…

The beautiful Maldives
well, I’m finally here after quite a long trip. The bad news – my luggage didn’t make it with us. The good news – this place is absolutely gorgeous – even better than I had imagined. We didn’t get upgraded to a higher room category but I’m pleased with the beach villa – it’s massive…
