Welcome to the best years of your life! The kids are all grown up and have flown the coop, all the mortgages have been paid off, you have a cushy retirement plan, and you can finally relax in some peace and quiet. The problem is that peace and quiet are boring, and you bang around the house trying to keep yourselves entertained, but how many macramé sweaters and model trains does it take to find meaning in your serene new life? You both realize that it’s time you went out and did something fun, really fun, together, an adventure to thrill and excite, but what? We have an idea…
You two need to go on a second honeymoon! Yes, the first one seems so long ago, or just like yesterday depending on your mood, so why not buy your plane tickets, pack your bags and go away for a while, someplace far across the ocean, a tropical paradise? Our recommendation is to book a stay in one of the best adults only Maldives resorts, the perfect place to unwind, then relight those flames of desire once more on the white sands of a sweeping beach at sunset!
Now, you may be wondering why we said ‘adults only’, well, we think you know. After a lifetime of caring for your kids, cleaning up after their catastrophic messes, listening to their constant bickering and ear-splitting pop music, having to pay for every single thing they needed or desired, well, don’t you think you deserve a break from all that? Of course, you love your kids and would do it all again gladly, but why on Earth would you want to spend your romantic second honeymoon anywhere you would have to be around other people’s kids?
Just imagine, there you are relaxing on your beach towels beside the gentle sea when a horde of uncouth youth descends upon the stillness, shouting and kicking beach balls around, and generally making a wild ruckus. All you have to do is see the pained look on their exhausted parents’ faces, they aren’t old enough to escape yet, but you are! This is why they have adults-only resorts!
There are actually a lot of good reasons why adults-only resorts are a fabulous idea! Just having kids in the vicinity subtly changes the way adults behave, we have to put on our good manners and be a bit prim and proper so as not to set a bad example. You even have to change the way you talk, maybe you don’t swear like a sailor, or maybe you do, but it just isn’t something that should be uttered in reach of innocent children’s ears, even though these days they could probably give you a good drubbing in a contest of vulgar and profane expletives! After all, they heard them at school!
Now that you are all grown up and have done your time as parents, it’s your time to relax and be your horny old selves away from their curious eyes, let your hair down and boogie the night away, because there are no kids allowed on this tropical beach! Paradise? You bet!
