__________________________________________________________________
Q: Which resort did you stay at?
A: The W in Maldives
Q: You mentioned getting a good deal... can you explain?
A: Rates were lower since the W just opened back up in the beginning of October. Plus, Billy’s sister works for Marriott so we got a discounted rate. Full transparency (because I know people are curious): we only paid $159 a night for our overwater villa. We never could have afforded this otherwise.
Q: Were you two the only ones staying there?
A: Nope, but it felt like it sometimes! There were only like 20 guests (at least that is all we saw).
Q: How were you able to travel during COVID? Do you have to quarantine when you come back?
A: We had to have a negative COVID test (PCR) within 72 hours of departing in order to come to the Maldives. We were not required to quarantine when we returned but Billy and I worked from home until we got a negative test as a precaution.
Q: Did you feel safe while traveling during a pandemic?
A: Very! Everyone was wearing masks everywhere we went (Turkey, Maldives, and the entire plane rides). The cleaning and sanitizing at the W was flawless.
Q: How were you able to take days off from teaching to travel?
A: I got my leave approved by my administration. We only get 2 personal days each year but we can also bank sick leave. Honestly, I don’t even know how exactly it comes out of my leave (I just put it in the system and it figures it out) but I’ve also taken unpaid days in the past (in my old county) to take a trip. Personally, I think it’s atrocious that teachers in some places can’t take vacations during the year. We are human and don’t live to work. Vacations shouldn’t be determined by your career choice.

Y’all are perfect and THAT ROOM??? Thank you for providing all of us with our next dream vacation destination!

[@queenofdo-over]

Yay! I’m so happy you and Billy tied the knot and enjoyed the most beautiful honeymoon! You’re lucky you can bank sick days and use them as you wish. We can’t do that in my province. Teachers should be able to at least use one week of banked sick time for vacation. It’s so important for mental health to be able to rest and recharge whenever we need to like any other professionals. It may even help to reduce sick time/supply teacher expenditure in the long run.

[@kristinjaklitsch4803]

This is now on my bucket list of places I have to try to visit in my lifetime! I am so happy you were able to go and enjoy it! You deserve it!

[@joannamatthews5474]

My husband and I went to Maldives for our honeymoon 17 years ago and 13 years later returned (to a different island) with our children. We all love to snorkel 🤿 and this is our dream destination (we are from the UK). Congratulations to you both!

I am very happy for you and Billy! I hope everything goes well with the both of you. 💍❤️

[@mariaelenarojaslaborda1485]

Dear Michelle, I have been following you for a couple of years now... but I got very active back in March when the pandemic and then on line classes became our norm. Your videos helped me a lot back then and they have continued to be an encouragement to me. I have never commented really but I think this a good opportunity to do it. It is very sweet that you guys are sharing this part of your lives with us followers.... My best wishes in this new chapter of your lives! Enjoy every minute of it! Have a wonderful time !

Wow! Everything looked amazing!! Glad you enjoyed yourselves AND got time to relax ... perfect for a honeymoon! Congrats!!

[@nicolespivey9521]

I teach in Virginia. We get three personal days per year and ten sick days. When we get more than five personal days they roll over into sick days which we can bank. When my daughter was born I was able to take six weeks with pay and still have six weeks left over. I love that room. It looks like the most relaxing place on earth.

[@AnaEstherTeacher]

Congrats! You are worth it! So inspirational always!

[@abbybyanski8686]

Congratulations!! I'm glad you were able to take a honeymoon and disconnect. We all need that sometimes!

Clear blue water, marine life, awesome company, incredible looking food🤩, I know you two had an amazing time. It is so nice to unplug and rejuvenate, but knowing your students and their families, I’m sure you had so many happy messages when you got back! I’m with Billy, where did they get the mini shopping carts (true game show fan)?

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Looks absolutely breathtaking! May God bless your marriage tremendously! You deserve every blessings God has for you! 😀😀😀. By the way, taking time for yourself does not make you a horrible teacher. It makes you a stronger and more effective teacher! 😀😀.

[@lisajo60]

I never took a vacation during a school year in 35 years of teaching. I could have never gone without that much pay and we were never allowed to even consider it anyway. I'm so glad you got to do that! It looks amazing.
