maldives and dubai.......................can't wait, 5 weeks to go..............................pics look so amazing....................i've had all my injections!
we went too! it was amazing... i so wanna go back!
we did a three week roadtrip across europe- from paris to romania- and back. saw 8 countries, drove 8000 kms, and had the best time overall.
silsila, maldives looks so gorgeous, lady! i hope you post some pics of the scenery when you return iA. i'd love to live vicariously through you.
italy is awesome, lawchick... beware the 50 million tourists in venice though, but save yer money cos you will want to buy their gorgeous venetian glass bead jewellery and their amazing masquerade masques. and also, everywhere in europe, be prepared to pay $4 PER CAN for coke
and definitely visit the cinque terre if you get the chance... its in the north-western part and its gorgeous... we went to the beach at monterosso, and let me tell you, nothing beats a swim in the mediterranean. it was beautiful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinque_Terre

SGC that sounds like a great idea! I'd love details if you have time to share them.
Sounds wonderful, all!
We went to Maui cuz we couldn't leave the US due to hubby's green card processing. It was absolutely gorgeous and relaxing. I'm not much of a sunbather, but we still had a great time seeing the sights and touring around. Lovely!
Hello silsila can you please give me the details for your trip if u don't mind .My son would love to go to maldives on his honeymoon.he will be getting married in december.
There are so many islands in the Maldives, its good to research what type of island u want as u can feel really isolated in some - as you can walk round them in 10 mins.........lol..........we chose a medium sized island with a beach hut, on the edge of the sea with a jacuzzi looking on to the sea! Trips included in package were - night fishing, and they cook u wat u catch on the beach the following day, love boat cruise, sumbarine crusie etc etc. visit to the city male, where there is the big mosque.......www.meeru.com, we are then stopping in dubai to get our wedding rings and any designer bags i can squeeze out of him! But Maldives per person is about 2k plus all inclusive. its best to go all inclusive as ots really expensive on the island.............xxx

Oh silsila you will love your honeymoon inshallah. We went to Maldives and Dubai. Which island are you going to? We went Hilton Resorts Rangali Islands. It was the most amazing holiday of my lifetime. So serene and exceptionally beautiful. Spent 4 days in our private villa where its hidden by just greenery and huge tall trees and is so so seculded. The next 3 days we spent in the Water villa. A villa standing on stilts...you come out at the back of the villa and you actually walk into the ocean...ohhhhhhh amazing!!!
We are hoping to go there inshallah on out 10th wedding anniversary...hehe...7 more years to go...when we are old and grey
i know, cant wait to go, ppl say maldives is once in a lifetime, we first thought of going to numerous places, but then felt we'd spend alot of time on the plane feeling jet lagged etc, so decided on maldives with a stop over in dubai. but my husband to be loves travelling so we have decided to go away within the year of getting married, but im thinking of planning a suprise trip for him, maybe new york, new york, he'd love it...............x

Why dont you guys go to Muritius (sp) - he would love that! Thats another amazing place...for relaxation! New York is just another place full of goras...at least in Muritious there is culture...
You know the best thing about Maldives is that you can just relax and do anything - food is also halal too. You didnt tell me which island you are going to...
yeh i thought that but after honeymoon, i thought i'd suprise him with a city type holiday, also thinking about what i could buy when im there lol! he is really keen on going to thailand, singapore etc

where abouts are you thinking of travelling...which countries?
shay, the sad thing is, the hubs accidently dropped the laptop so 60% of our trip pics are stuck on the harddrive! :/
im so hoping they can be recovered because theres soooo much more!
sahar, we flew out to paris on zoom airways (awesome service, and $1400 roundtrip for two including taxes and upgrades) and picked up our rental car there.
basically, we had the car, a map of europe with all the highways and roadways, we had the hubs' laptop, and we had two suitcases. we also had a vague timeline cos we wanted to meet his family at some point so we had to get to eastern europe at some point.
and that was it! we'd wake up each morning, look at the map and figure out where we wanted to go, and then we'd drive. we had our iPod with all the tunes and an adaptor for the car so we'd plug it in.
it was amazing!
we ended up seeing the austrian alps, the swiss alps and the italian alps- stunning, stunning views.
so we started in paris (france - what can i say about paris... LOVED IT! versailles is GORGEOUS and paris just has this different feel to it... i would move there in a heartbeat) > heidelburg (france - very pretty little town, extremely picturesque with a river running though it and a 400 year old castle) > nuremburg (germany - ridiculous store names like Christ (jewellery store) and Mister Lady (clothing store lol) > strasbourg (germany - THE most stunning cathedral i have ever seen) > plzen (czech republic - our hotel was 400 years old!) > prague (czech republic - we overstayed because it was so stunning... and the shopping is great too. we also walked up to prague castle's fruit orchards and had the juiciest, sweetest pears right off the tree!) > cluj napoca (romania - his family's hometown) > monostor (romania - his grandparent's village- soooo beautiful and old... the church there dates to the 1100's!) > budapest (hungary - budapest is stunning also) > pecs (hungary) (this was the site of one of the oldest mosques in the world, i believe... it was built in the 1600's and was a church but got converted into a mosque when the Turks invaded, and then back into a church when they were driven out... but its still got the blue mosaic ceiling for the dome, and the Kalma from when it was a mosque- very cool!) > graz (austria - best.creme brulee.ever) > venice (italy - old, dirty, falling away but an unmistakable charm) > milano (italy - super stylie, lots of pigeons, beautiful church) > cinque terre (italy - the beach!!!) > geneva (switzerland - we stopped for dessert. pricey as all hell) > dijon (france - beautiful countryside and LOTS of cows!) > then back to paris for a few more days and to catch our flight out.
lawchick, one more thing- make sure you know when the cities/towns you're visiting have their off days... its not always the weekend, like in north america. for instance, the louvre is closed on tuesdays and versailles is closed on mondays. milano is shut down on a sunday- very few shops are open and almost no restaurants.
all in all, roadtripping is expensive with a car but SO worth it! it was the trip of a lifetime and im so happy we got to do it!! i highly, highly recommend it.
I dont know where I am going.. I would like to go to Pakistan with my husband in November and just go shopping and eat. We are getting married in June Insallah but thinking about going to pakistan in November since the weather is soo nice
