A Carinval of Coral Dreams
I was having a conversation with my favorite Gemini a few days ago, & took a walk in memory lane of my visit to the Maldives several years ago. The place was peaceful and with bits of beauty scattered everywhere. An artist's inspiration and a destination for a lover's pilgrimage, it was like a toast to recklessness and happiness. My mind toyed with thoughts of clear waters, vivid reefs, and barefoot walks along endless beaches..
I miss all of thatWhat I don't miss is the state of being burned crisp, and patches of clothing lines on my colored skin =/ Nonetheless, I'd love to go back, & I'm exploiting just about every puppy-eye-ing option to sell the idea to Ahmed, Abdulla, & Khalid {the latter still doesn't has no clue, but if you're reading this now, well then.. pweeZz?} I cannot even begin to imagine the fun of having all 3 of them there <3
Will it work out? I dunno. But if it doesn't work out for me, there's no reason why it shouldn't work out for you, plus there's no harm in planning your wardrobe for the trip, non? -- here are some yummilicious vibrant vacation-finds for you to indulge in this summer ;p
