- To quote Chris, “An island… is an island…is an island…I mean how many can look at…before they all become a blur?” The best part was under the water… and I got that on my GoPro…just for the record…this trip was on my BLBC (Bucket List Before Chris).
And why a live aboard dive yacht… if we don’t even dive? Because we wanted to SEE the Maldives…not sit at a resort…we have that at home.
- And the great thing was…by being in different locations every day…we got to see a whole lot of fish. Well I did…since Chris doesn’t snorkel…and I got a total of 12 in 6 days… including my first ever night snorkel…with nurse sharks. And to top that off… we got to sit comfortably on the back of the boat…while the Manta Rays surfaced in a feeding frenzy!
All in all I have to say…saving the Maldives for last was brilliant…as it was so relaxing… and the environment was the polar opposite… of the prior crazy & chaotic 6 weeks!

- Our big fat “half-a-world-cruise” adventure covered a total of 46 days and 12,881 nautical miles. We crossed the International Date Line and lost an entire day! The day after Friday was Sunday. Feb 6 just disappeared. But we got it back when we flew home arriving just about the time we left. And we crossed the Equator twice (both directions).
- We spent two days in Singapore after our cruise and took a motor coach for an overnight stay in Melaka, Malaysia. Dubbed “The Historic State” this sweet city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008.
Here’s a little snippet of the trip. Enjoy!
