    Wow, nice video Gabe - it's good to see you having fun in those clear waters. It's also good to know that one can visit the Maldives without spending a fortune. I was looking at travelling there from Houston before the pandemic, using Qatar Airlines - essentially a one stop flight. From Male it was by seaplane to an exclusive resort island. One week trip between $5000-$10000 was the estimate. It looks like winging it, and doing something a little more down-to-earth is the best way! Thanks for the inspiration and excellent trip report.
