Ok...we've finally sorted some photos from the trip (1500 to be exact, with another 600 or so to go). It was an epic vacation and a whirlwind trip to essentially the opposite side of the world -- 4 days in HK and 5 days in Maldives! Exhausting, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You really would not believe the beauty and photos do not do it justice.
Also, if anyone is ever considering a trip to Maldives, let me know...we have tons of info that would have been massively more helpful to know before the trip!
Ok, enough talking...photo time.
Dim sum in HK...
Brand name flagship stores on every corner. Literally.
Two story Apple Store on the harbor

Unbelievable views:
Sea plane from the main island in the Maldives to the resorts:

Landed in paradise:

And had a waterfront bungalow:
Watching the sunrise every morning:

And the sunset every night:
Amazing snorkeling, reefs, and tropical fish (some poisonous!)

And really ridiculous jumpy shots:
And probably the most intense sunset 've ever seen in my life:
And finally, possibly my favorite pic from the trip - yes, the camera is half in the water and half above the water for an unbelievable view of both perfect worlds.
Hope you enjoyed!
