Maldives, take me away...

We spend our Diwali holiday in the Maldives, or heaven on earth as we called it! We mainly relaxed on the beach, took walks around our island and snorkeled and ATE! We had never snorkeled so it was fascinating for us. We saw baby sharks and tropical fish (since our aquatic knowledge is limited--we often referred to Finding Nemo characters in the Disney movie to describe what we saw underwater!) Since the Maldives may disappear underwater if global warming continues, and the newly elected Maldivian president wants to buy land in other countries such as Sri Lanka and India in case they have to relocate their citizens, we were thankful to have this opporunity and hopeful that it never comes to that.
