Ode to Robert Palmer

The W Hotel Maldives

By a gander at the first picture, you can see I’ve already thrown in the towel when it comes to blow-drying my hair here in the Maldives. It basically frizzes before you can utter the word, “fro.” Devastating. So slicked bun à la the infectious Robert Palmer “Simply Irresistible” video it is! “She’s unavoidable, I’m backed against the wall. She gives me feelings like I never felt before…she’s simply irresistible!”

And here I go. Off on a tangent. Get it together, Wordy Girl. And quit speaking in the third person like a complete mental case while you’re at it.

Where were we? Ah, yes. So today we spent the day snorkeling — which happens to be on my top 4 fave activities list — it’s right up there with noshing, shopping and driving my husband absolutely insane. The apex of said outdoor activity? We calmly swam next to a gigantic tortoise, which basically made my MONTH. I also spent the day leisurely reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s newest book, The Lowlands, and now that I’m almost done, I can’t pinpoint whether I love or hate it. When I waver between things, this usually means I hate it. It’s not up to par with her previous tomes, The Namesake and Interpreter of Maladies. Sorry, Jhump!

As gorgeous as The Maldives are by day, our hotel is equally stunning by nightfall as evident above. The sunsets here are on another level. Speaking of sunsets, I’m outtie like a belly button to catch it right now.
