- MOC11 Day 10- Photos + Words
I had made a page that was full of elements...then I thought maybe it should only be the photos and words, so I went for a different avenue.... one of the few times in which I like a page of mine that has almost no elements!!! Thanks Lori for this!!!!!
November 2018- at the airport, waiting for the flight back home from 3 days in Malta, which taught us that NO WAY we are going anywhere for less than 5 days!
Journaling reads:
A lesson well learned, our trip to Malta...Mum was coming over November 2014, we were told by Jose the dates and we knew we wanted to take her somewhere, so, as we do, got started looking on the coupon, offer web sites. One of the first offers to turn up was Malta, 3 days return flights, accommodation (2 choices and both were gorgeous!) and all transfers included, I didn't’ look passed that...I decided on the spot this is where we ere going! We have history with Malta (one of my brothers in law is half Maltese, they took Andy to Malta when we first started going out) and best of all Vivi aka Nemla is there!!! I got so excited that I would finally be able to have a coffee,, give her a hug and have a good laugh together in real time!!!!!
The deal was 3 days in Malta for £139 per person,. Wowcher shopping was easier than I thought, I was able to call the agency for info before paying to make sure we could get what we really wanted, but, of course, when sorting out the dates, it was obvious that the flight times would eat a day of our holiday, ended up paying an extra £6 per person for changing flights, then added breakfast which was another £6 per person. But all these was not a problem, still it all came under £150 each,& as Nadia was coming it worked
perfectly well , got a small apartment, fabulous if we wanted to stay long more than amazing for the time we spent...the issue came of the fact that 3 days on the state of health Mum and I were (are!) didn't work worth the amount of stress one goes through airports, the cabs to get there, the waiting around, the searching of luggage, so tiring! Oh I could keep going for hours! In this one, there was the dreadful story about how they almost didn't’t; let me back in the country because even though she had them both in her hands, Sarita was so tired (this was almost 2 am and the whole lot of the airport had been cleared out,) she forgot I told her to show both passports.... long story short...it took the officer asking if I didn't have another passport...and, of course, he found my full on visa. People react surprised that I don't have British
citizenship, but every time I wanted to go for it, the money was enough to get us both flying to see the family, and then the test (which in my current neurological state would be not an easy task. Anyway, the break was wonderful, the resort was exactly as advertised, that Cave Bar was magical, the view of the Monastery... we did a whole day tour and shopped in Valetta, spent time with Vivi & Tony and then last day Vivi came back, we even had a go at a Turkish haman (Turkish baths, massage), ate heavenly food...but
again, the stress Sarita had to go to confirm the flights, the exhaustion of trying to do everything in 3 days....This is definitely a very strong lesson learned... NO WAY to 3 days!!!! minimum 5 days like we used to! (have to say again, the trip was so well worth it, would do it all over again!!!!!!
