Thanks for the headsup on IC DAD,
It should be fine for me as my stops will include historic and religious sights ..., while leaving S/O at the hotel.....
And the kids at home

IC Maldives does have its edge in a postive sense nowadays .... as i do hope last nov2023 special offer of 30% discount will return ..
I do not mind rain, gives me a chance to communicate with nature ....
