Planning for Maldives vacation in December. Marriott properties (St. Regis, W...) look amazing value on points but the sea plane transfer is ridiculously expensive, more than a flight ticket from anywhere in Asia. Any other resort recommendations?

Go to the W. It is spectacular. I was there for 8 days the last week before lockdown and cannot wait to go back when they open up again in October.

Every resort will have an outrageous transfer fee. They all use trans-Maldivian airways for the seaplane transfer.

Nice 👍

Recently got my child's passport renewed. Child is minor so effectively a new passport. Here is the timeline, with just regular service.

6/2 Applied in person at the local county office
6/6 The application reached the State Dept
7/9 Got email that status changed to Approved
7/12 Received the new passport

End to end, a little more than 5 weeks. "Routine service can take 8-11 weeks" is the standard disclaimer. It's all good people!
