LOL!<br /><br />YP: The Maltese language, known as Malti, is very peculiar. Lots of M's and X's and other letters we don't even have in English. Dave has been making that Maltesers joke for weeks!<br /><br />Ms Moon: Do they, though? I don't think my parents would have taken me on an international holiday when I was that age. But of course the world is different now. I think I was more offended by the behavior of the parents than anything the babies themselves did. They can't really help it, after all.<br /><br />Red: Lots and LOTS of history!<br /><br />Ellen: It was a LOT of babies. Definitely more than I have ever had on one flight.<br /><br />Sharon: And that store is right on the main shopping street, not far from the Parliament buildings! You'd think it would be prime real estate!<br /><br />Linda Sue: It didn't SEEM quick.<br /><br />Robin: Yeah, I can't remember why the movie was called that. Wasn't there a figurine of a falcon, or was it just some kind of metaphor?<br /><br />Bug: On this flight, you'd have needed nose plugs too! LOL<br /><br />David: I had to persuade Dave to go for this trip. It's never been high on his list. But it's such a curious little country and a crossroads of various civilizations!<br /><br />GZ: I think that's good, right?<br /><br />Catalyst: Do you have his number? Maybe I can sic him on our airline for a refund.<br /><br />E: Thanks! Yes, lots of photo material!<br /><br />Sue: We definitely have more sunlight here than in England, which helps!<br /><br />37P: I was so happy I got them in mid-jump!

If you show us enough of your photos, I may just be inspired to actually visit! However, I need to persuade my husband (who is also both the holiday planner and the travel agent of our family).

I feel sorry for babies and parents on planes. the babies don't know what's going on, why their ears hurt, and the poor parents getting the stink eye from everyone. but 8 babies on one plane? OMG. the attendants should have passed ear plugs out to everyone. so about the tables with uneven legs...what about the chairs?ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-9895372594654372672019-02-20T15:12:16.404+00:002019-02-20T15:12:16.404+00:00Quite a mix of old and new and history.Quite a mix of old and new and history.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-55242648359844913192019-02-20T14:10:37.637+00:002019-02-20T14:10:37.637+00:00Babies have to get from one place to another too, ...Babies have to get from one place to another too, I suppose.
