November 24, 2024 Yesterday was a nearly all day travel day from Malta to London. We caught a 9:15 bus for the 40 min ride to the airport. Very easy to catch buses in Valletta and Sliema. We used our Priority Pass to get to the lounge. This was possibly the nicest lounge we’ve
November 20, 2024 One thing I forgot to note yesterday about our arrival here in Malta. We got off the ferry and hailed an uber to get to the flat. I had been warned by our host that we needed to have the 3 blade UK adapter plug, not the 2 pin EU plug.

November 9, 2024 It’s departure day from Naples. Wonderful city and terrific apartment. Due to our luggage, it was easiest to catch a cab to the Sixt car rental office at the station centrale. We found it without too much trouble and signed in. We were upgraded to an Audi A3 for some reason,
November 8, 2024 The transit gremlins struck again today!! We had planned to take the metro Line 1 to Grimaldi Centrale Station and then the Circumvesuviana train to Pompei Scavi, the train stop across the street from the entrance to Pompei.
