Thank you for the encouraging words.

I have driven on the left side many times, but always at fairly slow speeds. I suspect the driving on Malta will be a little more challenging than Tortola, Anguilla, or St Thomas/St John. Albeit there have been some fairly exciting moments driving there also.

We will be staying in the village of Mellieha.

We wanted to be out of the hubbub of Valletta. However, we do plan to do some serious sightseeing and exploring in the capital area. The charm of a smaller location I hope will afford me better opportunities to take the type of pictures I like to take. I would say, I am planning to burn some film this trip, but I would be showing my age. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

I will be blogging/posting while we are there, and hopefully the TTOL family will follow along. Any tips, must sees, or places to eat on Malta will be gladly welcomed.

13 days and counting
