When I get bored and have nothing better to do, I always dream about the perfect getaway for the family. But lately it has become more of a habit than out of boredom. I am always devising holidays and thinking of ways to make the "supposed" holiday cheaper. So when I present the idea to hubby, all he has to do is nod..hehehe.
Yesterday while talking to my cousin online, I suddenly miss Maldives. When we were still there, we only visited four resorts. If you're an expat in Maldives, you get to enjoy discounted rates at the resorts. And silly us, we didn't take full advantage of it.
But now, I want to go and visit there again. I told hubby about this and he said, maybe we can go there on my birthday. I have some friends working at the resort and I was hoping they can give me discounts (hello Ate Tess, are you reading this? hehehe). After hubby's nod of approval, I immediately checked Malaysia Airlines for ticket fares. And I was shocked to find we'd have to shell out RM6,300+ ($2,000) for our return fare. I thought this is not right. I again checked other flight deals and it still gave me the same result. But if you are flying return from Maldives to KL, it is only RM3,200+ ($1,000). I wonder why this is so? I mean the distance is the same. The only difference is you start your flight from the opposite direction.
So there goes my plan to visit Maldives again. Even if the resort is free, I am not willing to pay 2K for a 3-day, 2-night holiday. It is just expensive. I will just find a cheaper alternative.
