All true.

I think you're getting a good price, an awesome OWB and youll enjoy it immensely.

Thanks for all of your help!

Have you ever been to MLE/BOB? Seems that your situated pretty nicely being an "aussie." :)

Nope, consensus is that its a bit weird being a "bochur"...

Fair enough, I was too focused on the first half of the moniker :)

But I still want to go sooner rather then later.
Will see...

Also, bit lame to go on a honeymoon to somewhere you've already been, no?

Personally, I wouldn't prefer that. Kinda the reason I didn't wanna fly CDG-LAX-PPT-BOB because I just spent a week in CDG a few months ago.

But, if you're looking for an amazing place, the guy who's getting me the deal at the Halaveli, told me the only other place that rivals MLE is the East Coast of Borneo. Look into it :)

Anyone know if I'll be able to get into the Etihad F lounge on arrival in AUH?

Just to look?

Yeah, after I posted, I went to FT and it seem YMMV. I've emailed Etihad to try and get permission in writing.

Ideally to partake!
I think that's right, yes. Why?

I had the same thing. Halaveli had a sale, pay for 4 nights and get 3 nights free. We only went 6 nights. With the time we had for the trip I wanted to spend one night in Dubai. 6 days was plenty, but we would not have minded staying any longer... You will love Halaveli. Did you book it with Richard?

Yeah, been working with Richard, and wow he seems to know his stuff.

In two weeks, he's actually headed to the Hilton Iru Fushi for a week and then FS for another week, but he said he loved the Halaveli.

He said the island on which the Hyatt sits is stunning, but its a pain to get there, and the OWBs are not as nice as the Halaveli.

I told you richard is great. He goes every year on a trip to the maldives for free, halevai by me...
He can also get good rates, as he is one of the biggest agents
So the scond dd member goes to halaveli, good times. You might want to check if some of my kosher ice creams are still in the freezer :-)

Just got written confirmation from EY. Hopefully that should help.
