Vacation Package:

Type of Tourist I am:

• organized and stressful-->  book through Expedia.ca to earn savings by booking the flight and hotel together- avoid confusion of days spent traveling in the air to Maldives and dates to book for hotel
• prefer structure --> not an independent traveler and not willing to go into unknown territory-- booking a vacation package and consultation with a travel agent will reassure me transportation to and from the hotel and airport will be provided
• ... above reasons are WHY I need this vacation

DO NOT WANT TO STRESS ON THIS TRIP!

Budget:
Total for Two Weeks= $13, 000 for two people
Hotel and Flight= $12, 496.08
Spending Money= around $500 total
Local Currency=  Rufiyaa (1 rufiyaa equivalent to 0.08 US dollars)- US Dollars and Credit Cards are also accepted and encouraged

Flight and Hotel: SHERATON MALDIVES FULL MOON RESORT AND SPA
There are no direct flights to Maldives from Toronto because of the long distance and airline regulations of pilots flying for a certain amount of hours per day. Two stop-offs are the only available option on the way there, losing 2 days in the air, and one day on the way back, hence why this vacation is two weeks to make the whole vacation worthwhile.

Before booking any hotels though, I would check online through tripadvisor.com for past tourists' experiences. This will give me an idea of what other people thought, good and bad, about the hotel choice. I try to match travelers my age and expectations of a vacation according to their brief description, to weigh heavier on their say compared to other people.

So these reviews are VERY reassuring of an excellent vacation...
