Okay, this is so off topic it's not funny LOL, but I'm so excited I had to share.

On Friday, the hubby, daughter, a friend and myself are off to the Maldives for ten days. We're meeting my Mom and Dad there for a wonderful pre-Christmas relaxation getaway. I've never been to a tropical island, so this is extremely exciting for me. But even MORE exciting than that ..

... when we leave the Maldives, we've booked 4 days in Singapore for shopping. Last night I realized that Singapore is where a friend of mine had Breakfast at the zoo with an orangutan named Ah Meng. I love love love orangutans lol. They're my favorite animal and I've always wanted to go to Malaysia to see the sanctuaries there, but haven't gotten a chance yet. So this morning I looked up the zoo's website and booked the 6 of us in to have breakfast at the zoo with Ah Meng. From my friend's description of it, it's absolutely amazing. He said she didn't have the best table manners (stole his toast once lol), but that it was a really great experience.

This might even be more thrilling for me than 10 days laying on the beach LOL.

Well Singapore sounds divine! But what is Maldives? (and I thought I was good at geography)

I can tell you are excited! Have a blast! :girl_hug::Banane20:

I didn't know where the Maldives were a few years ago either lol. My husband's taught me all kindsa of stuff.

The Maldives are a group of islands, off the coast of India. It's also where TomKat are currently on their honeymoon lol, but I'm sure they're off on some private island that costs $10,000/day or something haha.

We're staying here .. I'll post lots of pictures when we get back. Have to get one of those underwater cameras for snorkling.
