I spent the first years of my life in a tiny village on the southern tip of the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea. Wind permitting, arriving aircraft – mostly bringing tourists from northern Europe to Malta to enjoy the island’s mild climate – would fly along the eastern coast before drawing a graceful arc with the tip of their wings as they executed a 180 degree right-hand turn around the southern tip of the island to line up for arrival on runway 31.
As they came out of the bank, they would make landfall over St. George’s Bay. That’s when they would come into earshot. Whenever I heard an aircraft, I would dash out of the house and there, from the elevated position of our front porch, I would watch them slowly, gracefully and elegantly glide down behind a line of low hills that separated our village from the airport just a few kilometres away.
Of course, all this was many years ago and I am now an adult. But even so, some things never change and even today I still turn my head at the sound of an airplane. So as you see, I have had a passion for aviation, flying and travel for as long as I can remember.
Airlines
Airlines and flying have been a life long passion of mine. I am fascinated by them. The link below will take you to an overview of the airlines I have travelled with.
Hotels
Especially when you’re travelling for leisure, your choice of hotel can make or break a vacation. This blog doesn’t feature all hotels I stay at. Only the one that are remarkable.
Trains
When I was a kid, I think there was a fifty per cent chance that I would end up either an airplane geek or a train spotter. The airlines won, but trains still fascinate me.
I hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed creating it and filling it with content. And please don’t forget to leave a message. I always enjoy hearing from you! Thank you.
