Thank you for rearranging your content to include abortion information--it's so important for people to know that abortion services and travel funds are available--but it does require even more time to find that info and the right resources. My rage dissipates a tiny increment each time I encounter good people in the world who use their platform for the common good. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for reading, Lisa! I really appreciate it. And I know...so much rage.

First of all, the U.S. and the abortion ruling and, oh man, I still can't wrap my head around all of that. Makes me doubly glad we left the US five years ago, but still so worried for all of our friends and family back there.

Second, thanks for the honest review of the Maldives. Been hearing about it much of my life but I'm pretty sure after your assessment, I just crossed it off of our list. As you say, it looks beautiful, but there you enumerate too many downsides for me.

Thanks for reading Michael! It's a dark time in the US for sure, and hard to comprehend at times.

I feel bad telling people not to visit somewhere, but you could do many more trips that are equally great or better for the price of one trip to the Maldives. If you're ever very close by it might be worth it for two nights or something, but I wouldn't make a whole trip out of it.
