Two tickets to paradise 1/18

Up so early at 4. That was a short 3 hour nap. We reached the airport quickly and hit up Coffee Bean (yay chain that won't make me sick-I hope). Mental note, don't drink a large latte after no coffee for 2 months before you get on a flight. Coffee feels like poison in my stomach. In the bathroom I opt for the eastern toilet and the woman gives me a weird look. So the eastern toilet is only for you? Nope I like it. 

We reached Malé early and waited for our bags. No worries, we are practically on the sand. Once we got our good we went through customs. No problem right? We have no alcohol or pork. I had to take all my shit out because a candle holder "looks like the face of Bhudda". No idols allowed here. I didn't worry because I knew I didn't have any Bhudda statues...

We chilled in the lounge only for a bit before our flight to another island was ready. A short 20 min flight then a 5 min boat ride and we arrived!! This place is fantastic and beautiful and clean and fabulous and we can eat the food!

We walked around the island (it's small) and took in the sun and beach and of course had some drinks. Then a bat flew over us, not in a scary way, but a beautiful way. The fish are all swimming around the corral. We booked some scuba dives and decided to get a cert for nitrox (in process). We had red wine and burgers and a salad for dinner w a magnificent ocean view and hardly anyone around. The food is sooo good, or is it because we've been eating not so good food? So exciting to be able to eat and not be scared.
