Hello friends! I am excited to bring you this three-parter on our Maldives honeymoon, mostly because I’ve not done a travel post in ages and I am excited to be doing it again! To be honest, Maldives was not on our radar at first! Actually, I don’t think we had any firm honeymoon desires, except… Read More Maldives Honeymoon – Why Maldives & Our First Night!
As I mentioned in my post about dragon book and podcast recommendations, I wanted to read The Penguin Book of Dragons. It’s not that commonly available, but I had a free afternoon so I went to the library to get this book and a few others.
