After a 4 hour plane ride, we arrived in the capital city, spent the night then boarded a sea plane the next morning. The sea plane ride alone was beautiful. Sitting in this tiny plane with 6 other people, we looked out on tiny islands and crystal blue sea. 45 minutes later we landed in the middle of no where at a gorgeous resort with about 50 other people (occupancy was low thanks to the volcanic ash!)
This place was more than incredible. It reminded me of how many beautiful places there are in the world that I have no idea exist. I had never heard of the Maldives until I moved to Asia, nor had I imagined ever being able to go there. For a couple who had seen each other about 5 whole weeks since the year began, this was the best place to explore and hang out with very little do.
Michael was able to go scuba diving, which I couldn't do because of my delicate condition. But, like a good wife, I went with him to hang out on the boat and take pictures. About 10 minutes after he went under the water, I noticed some fins off in the distance. The boat crew noticed them too and the captain steered the boat towards them. Before I knew it, I was watching 30 dolphins swim around our boat. It was so amazing!!! Seeing so many dolphins swim in the wild was a wonderful surprise. They were pretty incredible up close.
We spent much of the week laying on the beach, boating, fishing, reading and just doing nothing. It was the perfect place for a babymoon. Who knows when we'll be able to do it again but I'm glad we had the opportunity.
