Maldives Baby!!!!

YES!!! We have done it, we have booked the Maldives!!!! And a flight to Vietnam after, random I know but we had to go somewhere out of Male but not back to India and so we chose Hanoi in Vietnam! Its very strange to spend lots of money and not actually realise that we are going somewhere! Booking the accomodation was such hard work sending email to email making sure I had the right dates and then we had to book the flights before the accomodation which was scary or in Dave's famous words "this better not end up being a huge cock up" but eventually , after both our bank cards not working, we paid for the accomodation in the Maldives.

Dave and I are now both off to Summer schools and so not much planning will occur! So will keep you posted when something else is booked or hopefully project Why will get back to me!

Love Emma and Dave. xxx

Moving and more planning!

Dave and I have now moved down to Dorset and have a couple of weeks off before we go to our summer schools!

It will also be in the next couple of weeks that we will be booking our flights to India and the Maldives and also onwards to either Thailand or Malaysia, where Dave has a friend we are going to visit!

Visiting the Maldives will be the most expensive part of our trip and so we had to think whether it was worth it, but we decided that we may not have a chance to go again! So we are hoping to fly out on the 10Th of February to meet Mum and Dad, so that will be exciting!
Not much to report on but hopefully things will get a bit more planned in the next couple of weeks!

Planning

So now university has finished for me (emma)I am now starting to plan travelling!!! Im sat here setting up emails and blogs for you guys to keep track of us and Dave is finding the meaning into his lyrics on his Ukulele!

We have decided that we are going to travel to India first, we will be there for two months and 10 days and so we are looking at where we can visit. I have emailed a volunteer project called "project why" in Delhi and hopefully we can volunteer there for about a month,just waiting to hear back from them.

India is huge and so finding things to do will be really really easy, We are definatly going to go to the Taj Mahal is situated in Agra and so it is 204 Km south of Delhi. We are going to work our way down south so we can get to the city of Bengaluru. From here at the end of our travels we may fly out to the Maldives, if we get everything booked on time.

Dave and I decided that we wanted to do a small creative project and so we have decided to do a project on happiness and so I have been doing research on happiness, is it physical? Is is in your mind? What are different peoples perceptions of happiness and is it different in different countries.

Hope you enjoyed our first blog entry.More to come on our progress soon! :D xxx
