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 employee strike has been settled
Great news from the hotel – the employee strike has been settled! Last night at dinner – we could see sincere concern from the expatriate employees who wanted to see this end quickly as they realized what damage could be done if this continued on. As I said in my previous post, the Conrad did…

The $200 swim trunks
Well no sign of our suitcases yet and so I made the executive decision to head to the gift shop to find some swimsuits. I realize we’re on a deserted island – but perhaps they would have something reasonably priced. I found a swimsuit that was 3XL – plenty big for my gut or so…
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…
You’ve got to know when to hold them
I’m sitting in the spacious Malaysia Air lounge writing this quick update – after a four hour flight from Taipei to Kuala Lumpur – and an eight hour layover we’re about to board flight 4 of 5 – a quick four hour flight from KL to Male. Then it will be a quick boat ride…
