Hello another newbie

Hi all,

We will be travelling to the Komandoo on the 25th August 2010 for the first time. We have been reading all the reviews and even though we have been to the Maldives before we still get so excited.

Fionna & Kev

Hi Fionna and Kev which other islands have you been to?BOB.G

Hi BOB.G,

I have previously been to, Kuramathi, Velavaru, Summer Island, Athuruga and Machchafushi. Since I have been with Kev we have been to Meeru and Reethi and he has now got the Maldives bug too. We are looking forward to going to Komandoo as it is a smaller Island, I first suggested Meeru Island to Kev as it was one of the larger islands just in case it wasn' t his type of holiday, but now you can't keep him out of the water. His dream would be to see a whale shark.

Have you been to any other Islands? Oh and just in case you might know, we will arrive in Dubai at close to midnight, will the duty free shops be open as we have 3 hour wait for our connection to Male.

Fionna

Hi Fionna we seem to have the same taste in islands as you we started with meedhupparu thenMeeru,Velavaru,Reethi beach and last october Komandoo which is our favourite.With regard to the duty frees in dubai we landed there enroute to mauritius at 1am and the shops were very much open for business.Bob.

Thanks for that Bob, from what i have been reading I think Komandoo is going to be our favorite too. Did you sail on the Brit? and if you enjoy snorkeling, how did you find it?

Fionna

Hi Fionna did,nt do the Brit cruise but it does have gooreviews on other sites.With regard to the snorkelling that is very good particularly on the sunriseside of the island.Bob.
