In 1967, while my father was working in Libya, (still a kingdom for another few months) he had my mother sell our their mobile home, and move to Malta to be near him.

Being an under-employed, living at home community college student, I was was welcome to join her IF (HA!) I could pay my own way.

Needless to say, I had to just find an apartment instead.

To this day, Malta is a sore subject; it hurts when gravy trains derail!

Lots of pictures, books, souvenirs and even a Maltese cookbook; but, alas! They are all second hand memories.

I have friends that live in malta and have been there to visit them. Wonderful place, people VERY friendly, beautiful country, but lousy roads! I have to take my Wife back there again soon (they are her friends after all!).

If you have a chance to go there for vacation, do so, but between October and May, when the weather is nicer and the mosquitos are not so hungry! You won’t be sorry.
