As usual, hope you guys enjoy the trip report and keep the comments and suggestions coming! :smile:

Looking forward to it sir, your introduction alone is making me jealous.

Why not post it here with pics of your hot new bride in a bikini? ;) Be the best TR ever!

Still planes & lounges in the next installment. The "fun" part's coming:

*Getting There: Penang to Male

Ain't this forum supposed to be about planes and lounges? :p

We'll see, we'll see...

Just make sure it's a picture of her lounging around then...

Man, the timing of that sea-plane sounds horrible. Some luxury experience that.

cant wait
 

looking forward to this TR---going to actually note how you did this as I have 120K US miles now....would LOVE to experience the Maldives for little or no money hehehe..

Sharing my experience on the Maldivian Air Taxi Sea-Plane:

*Sea-plane Adventure

I'm looking forward to the rest of your report and pictures. :cool:

Also, does the Maldives being a Muslim nation affect your wife's enjoyment of the trip in any way?

I was curious about that while researching the Maldives.

Having recently visited the Maldives myself with my wife, I'm interested in reading the rest of your report. And congratulations on getting married!

Makes a change for someone on an aviation forum to actually marry a woman! ;-)

I think being abandoned on a tiny platform in the middle of the sea would tip Mrs Jafa over the edge...there would have been crying.....how did your bride cope?

Maldives is one of the more conservative Muslim countries. Every citizen by law is a Muslim. There is no alcohol allowed on Maldives except on the resorts. Your bags will be scanned at customs and any alcohol will be confiscated which means by no taking any duty free into Maldives. Dress "moderately" when you're in Male on visiting a local village.

However, once you're own your resort, there's really very little affect. Alcohol and pork are freely served.

with that being said, does that mean the meat served in the resorts are halal? obviously not the pork...but i.e chicken, beef, lamb?

Not too sure. Didn't ask..

Pretty sure that I'm jealous as well. I had to rough it and go to FP for my honeymoon;)
