Umm... where's Malta?
In the med, just south of Sicily. 3 hours flight from Heathrow.
Malta is an archipelago of islands made up of Malta, Gozo and Comino. The main island, Malta, is 17 miles long. The capital is Valletta-are-you-better-are-you-well-well-well, often shortened to just Valletta.
The people who live in Malta (Maltesers) speak Maltese and English, and are mostly Roman Catholic; the currency is the euro.
So, who's coming to this thing?
I defer to the spreadsheet.
And... when will that be?
The week beginning 2nd Nov 09
But where to stay?
Sheesh, what's with all the questions?
This place is only £440 a week and sleeps up to 9 people. It's in Gozo, which is the little island north of the main one. Will keep looking for other ones too though.

What's a boy (or girl) to do in Malta, like, is there an itinerary?
There's no mad 'pack in as much as phyically possible' itinerary, I don't think it's that kind of holiday. Chill out, man! But here are some suggestions:
- Go to the beach
- Watch the girls (in bikinis) go by if you're a boy
- Watch the boys (in bikinis) go by if you're a girl
- Sample some of the fine Maltese cuisine
- Mountain biking
- Boozing
- SCUBA diving
- Going round forts
- Trying to find traditional malteasers
- Go to visit the local markets and make some delicious meals at home
- Wander round the old capital Mdina
- Go to Saint Julians "where all the nightlife is. There are many clubs and parties as well as great places to eat and just chill and listen to live music." ~ Wikitravel
