Maldives – Living the Mermaid life

It’s been quite a while guys.

My family and I were suppose to be flying to europe when covid first struck. Our flight was cancelled due to the lockdown in Italy. In hindsight, it might have been a blessing in disguise as it would be a nightmare if we’re stuck in an Italian hotel with no idea of how we’re gonna get back home.

Covid really done a number on us. With the mask wearing, to lockdowns (leading to cancelled flights), to quarantines, it’s no wonder that everyone is feeling the rush to travel when the departure gates are now reopening to everyone. So what better way than to make the first trip overseas in two years a blast by going to Maldives!

To be really honest, the ever changing travel restrictions has been a bit of a pinch in the ass. From exemptions to form filling to split stays, it took more time than the usual planning pre covid. As such, we took on the services of ZuBlu, and our correspondent, Lee, has been pretty amazing at arranging majority of our trip. He was extremely responsive and took great care of our itinerary, which we were really grateful. However, his prices were quite a bit more expensive than Agoda, thus we only planned for the dive portion with him. But even with his help, this trip wasn’t the smoothest.
