having seen the outragious prices for wine and alcohol, is there any reason why one cant just pack a bottle or two of vodka or rum with the baggage.
Since they are clear, I could just put them in water bottles, no?

LOL why would you wanna get arrested for possession of a banned substance at the start of a holiday just to save a few quid? They have x ray machines. You ain't getting through customs with booze in your luggage, regardless of if it's in a water bottle or not.

He probably figures he wouldn't get arrested. After all, I don't think any tourist has ever been arrested for that at the airport. A quick Google search came up dry. Pardon the pun!

i seriously don't understand why people think they should come to this place if they can't stump up the money to pay for what's here. it makes the prices higher for the rest of us as we end up subsidizing those sitting in their room devouring pot noodles instead of paying for real food

We'll be arriving there in a couple of weeks and will also hope to meet you in person.
A general question for anybody: We're packing as lightly as possible for this trip, even by our roll-aboard standards, and are wondering if water shoes are advisable in addition to sandals.
Apologies in advance if already asked and answered.

Just wanted to wish everyone on this forum, from CM to pineapple_09 to MaldivesFreak to ma91mph to everyone else who makes this a fun, enjoyable and education forum, a happy and joyous 2014!
May next year bring with it a wealth of interesting travel experiences, be they in Y, J or F, and positive hotel-stay experiences, be it in BVs or OWVs, and (please, Hilton), no more HHonor devaluations

The shore is sandy. There aren't rocks or ironshore to hurt your feet. I didn't swim because I spent all my time diving, so my advice might be not that useful.
I pretty much went barefoot the entire time.
