Before I share the object of my latest wanderlust, I want to thank everyone who participated in the “No Passports Required” link party! It was my first time doing a link party and it was SO much fun!! Over twenty fabulous bloggers linked their posts sharing some of the amazing places where they have traveled. I have spent the past couple of days being whisked all over the world to some spectacular places. You are all amazing and I am so pleased to have such wonderful readers!!
The weather has turned chilly, the autumn leaves have fallen and it is starting to feel like winter…which means I am starting to feel the need to get away to somewhere HOT. How about the Maldives?

Have any of you ever been to the Maldives? I recently came across the above photo of this amazing underwater restaurant in the Maldives. Doesn’t it look amazing??

The Republic of the Maldives is an independent country in the Indian Ocean made up of a chain of twenty six atolls. Relatively unknown to tourism until the 1970’s, the Maldives has recently become a very popular tourist destination and are known for the amazing scuba diving amongst the multitude of coral reefs. There are nearly 50 five star resorts scattered around the islands with outposts of every luxury hotel brand. The islands are very popular for honeymoons (most notably Prince William and Kate Middleton).

I haven’t been diving in years but I can’t think of a better place to break out my scuba gear once again than the Maldives! Maybe I could even embark on the ultimate diving adventure on the Four Seasons Explorer, the twenty-two passenger luxury catamaran, offering a “liveaboard” dive experience with the first class amenities for which Four Seasons is known.

What do you think? Would you like to explore the Maldives?
WHat a magical place! That restaurant is sensational and I would be hungry for FISH the entire time!
What a great party you hosted, Sandy. I was able to visit a few before I made my trip to school!
Big hugs, Anita
Oh no I missed the link party! Hope you'll do it again:) I've been so busy changing blog name and address…

Take me away now…sounds so good. Although the under the water restaurant would be a no no for me, being as claustrophobic as I am but its an amazing concept! Never been to the Maldives but would love to one day.
Loved your linky party..and hope you will do it again. Enjoy your day!
Bonjour, Qui pourrait dire non à la proposition de visiter les Maldives ?… Les photos sont magiques et font rêver, surtout aujourd'hui, chez moi la neige tombe de façon continue depuis hier… La couche est très importante… Alors un peu de soleil et de chaleur sont les bienvenus.
Gros bisous
Waking up today to the 20s…..I would give just about anything to be in the Maldives today! It's definitely on my dream travel list. But, I have a warm weather get away coming my soon, so no complaints!!!
Congratulations on a wonderfully successful link party!
xoxo Elizabeth
Ooooh, wish I could go there! Such beautiful images Sandy!
The link party was such fun! Congratulations on its success! These pictures of the Maldives look so inviting. Dining in the underwater restaurant would be quite the experience!
That looks spectacular !!!

With temperatures so low here, an escape to the sun seems very appealing and what a stunning restaurant. I'm sorry I wasn't able to join in the link party but I have just had such a hectic week.

I loved the link party! I found some new blogs and places to explore. The weather here has been in the height 50s and the Olof is fabulous but the chill is oming.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Hi Sandy! Gosh, I've only been away for a few weeks and missed so much. This spot looks like the perfect escape:) The underwater restaurant at the top is so interesting! My family would love it but I am a little claustrophobic.. so I wonder if I'd like it?!!:):) Your link party sounded like a success. I'll scroll down and check it out!
Enjoy your day and stay warm.
Okay, I've really never thought about the Maldives. Until now. When do we start packing??!?!
Hi Sandy,
I was so bummed to miss your link party by a couple of hours (due to my pacific time zone). What fun and what a success. I hope to join next time. The Maldives–very high on my 'must go' list.
Happy weekend my friend,
