How do you spend the day in paradise?

October 10, 2014February 3, 2022 / findingbackroads / Leave a comment

What did you do with the long Eid Al Adha weekend? I've been cleaning the house and the files on my PC (and my phone). I actually spend more time in the digital cleanup part, because I tend to look at photos and get stuck there. I'm actually looking at old photos again now. So, the … Continue reading How do you spend the day in paradise?

What to pack? Maldives edition

August 23, 2014February 3, 2022 / findingbackroads / 1 Comment

I must admit, in my years of travel, I've never been so nervous about packing than when the time we were headed to the Maldives. Why? Because there is nothing in the island except for the resort - meaning, there are no grocery stores, malls or convenient stores or pharmacies (although there is an on-island … Continue reading What to pack?

Precious time in paradise

August 15, 2014February 3, 2022 / findingbackroads / 7 Comments

As working parents, my husband and I juggle too many things at the same time so once a year, we hit that point where we tell ourselves we need to get off the rat wheel. We need time to decompress. With the kids. We decided not to travel far this time - a 12 hour … Continue reading Precious time in paradise

Maldives for kids

Island-living at its best, year round sunshine, warm water, water sports, top dive sites and a safe environment, Maldives has become a very popular travel destination now, more than ever. However, the reputation of being a honeymoon destination might put off families with children from going. Have you thought of visiting Maldives with your children? … Continue reading Maldives for kids

Seaplane experience in the Maldives

August 7, 2014February 3, 2022 / findingbackroads / 3 Comments

I've got my share of flights in my life but none could compare to my experience in riding a seaplane. It's a combination of feelings from breath taking to thrilling to scary at the same time! The seaplane transfer we experience last July during our holiday in the Maldives was a fantastic experience especially for … Continue reading Seaplane experience in the Maldives

Where we stayed: The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives

August 1, 2014 / findingbackroads / 3 Comments

I took this photo from the seaplane before we got down and I was in love. Who wouldn't? We had the best family experience at The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives for 5 nights in July. There are actually no words. That place is just beautiful, truly heaven on Earth. If you have followed my … Continue reading Where we stayed: The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives

Arriving in paradise that is The Maldives!

July 16, 2014 / findingbackroads / 4 Comments

The blog is not dead. Sorry for the long silence, my family and I were traveling and it was not easy to open the PC and sit down to write (especially with no mouse! God, I am half useless without a mouse). My last post was a little update about the kids. Well, the bored … Continue reading Arriving in paradise that is The Maldives!

We’re off to The Maldives!

July 6, 2014 / findingbackroads / 4 Comments

Same time NEXT WEEK, I will be dipping my toes in one of the world's most beautiful waters. We will be guests at The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi (formerly a Hilton property) in The Maldives to enjoy five  glorious days of sun, sand and sea. Oh yes, I had to pinch myself so many times to believe … Continue reading We’re off to The Maldives!
