To be honest, 40 hours is a long way to travel for anything, even a honeymoon. (Our route: Austin to Houston, Houston to Dubai, Dubai to Male, seaplane from Male to Velidhu.) And I was seriously having second thoughts about it all as we sat in the Dubai airport for 8 hours following a 14 hour flight (did you know they announce every flight in the entire terminal over the loudspeaker in several languages? NOT particularly enjoyable at 2 am).
But, after 40 hours, we finally made it to our destination, Velidhu Island Resort in the Maldives. Granted, we immediately hit the sack upon arrival, but after a little catching up on sleep, we realized... we were in paradise!!
Unreal turquoise waters; overwater bungalow with gorgeous views of sunrises, sunsets, and colorful coral; pure white sand beaches; secluded sunbathing spots; bathwater warm ocean; snorkeling with sharks, mantas, and countless brightly colored fish; yummy all-you-can-eat meals; tons of privacy: all on one lovely little island (it literally took about 20 minutes to walk the perimeter of the entire thing). Heaven!!
