Travel

We just returned from the Conrad Rangali Hilton Hotel Maldives and the Ithaa Underwater Restaurant. The resort itself was very beautiful and the staff were amazing... very friendly, helpful and accomodating.

Yesterday we just returned from a two day safari on a Catamaran. It was absolutely amazing. We spent two days mostly on the boat with stops at Bolifushi Resort for lunch on the first day and at various sand banks both the other days. The boat was very nice, the service was excellent and the onboard chef was not bad at all. This is a trip I would repeat any time :)

Today is our first day in Maldives. The kids are having a blast and seem to have been having a great time. Jaz has learnt the Dhivehi alphabet and Sam is working on his Dhivehi alphabet.

I will write more soon but I wanted to upload some pics of our view from this house.

I had a very hard time letting my kids ages 6 and 7 go half way across the world to Maldives without me. I didn't think that this would be so hard for me since they would be with my brother who takes excellent care of them. Until I knew they landed in Maldives I was completely stressed, worried and anxious.

I created a Manual for my parents so that they knew what to do with the kids while they were with them... I think it helped but I got teased a lot for worrying too much :) The manual includes directions for what they should do every day which might have been a little excessive. Here is a copy of what I put in there:

Some pictures of places we visited in Montenegro during the summer of 2007.... Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay, Stari Bar, Ulcinj and more.
