Overcome with JOY about losing her status: 'the baby of the family'

Nachtfischen (German, I hope! for 'night fishing')

The boat!


The crew feeds fish and stingrays before the trip starts - very entertaining!


This is the small stingray 2-3ft wide - I never got a good shot of the BIG white one - about 4ft wide


The black one was about 3ft wide




Sadly I didn't get any photos of Brian fishing - but i did get one of Josh!


Josh's Moray - Which never made it into the boat - the captain cut the line.

We had them grilled for us! YUM!


Oh and by the way, I'm pregnant.

Maldives...

I'm going to take a break from posting our Normandy/Paris/Sardinia pictures from April - yes April - to post some photos from the Maldives. One of these days I promise I will finish that!

We had an amazing week of laying on the beach, hanging out with great friends, eating some AMAZING food, fishing, snorkeling, and just relaxing! As always Brian and I compete at everything - everything - and he usually wins. This may come as a shock to some people but *I* yes I caught more fish than Brian and I will never let him live that down. Ever.

I'll break this up into a few posts so the photos aren't too bad!

McArabia! The BEST sandwich EVER from McDonalds! (Our layover in Dubai one of the most amazing airports ever)


Leaving the airport in Male.


A sea plane taking off


A cool ship! Even if it is a little beat up.


Arriving at our island in the North Male Atoll


Little black tip sharks in the water right outside our room.
