This country gets overlooked for other Mediterranean spots like Cinque Terre or Positano or Corfu. Here’s why it shouldn’t.

"The country code is +356 and outgoing code is 00, followed by the country code of the international number you wish to dial.

The three major mobile phone network operators are Vodafone, Go and Melita. Coverage for Vodafone and Go on data is generally better, with Vodafone having a slight edge. All three offer pre-paid phone and internet data plans and SIM cards can be purchased from local stationeries (small local shops for writing and office materials) as well. For the best coverage of those planning to travel across the Maltese islands, Vodafone and Go are your best bets, despite the slightly cheaper rates from Melita. If you don’t plan to roam around much, Melita should do just fine."

Traffic and driving may be different to what you’re used to.
Malta is one of the few countries in the world where people drive on the left-hand side of the road, inherited from the British rule of Malta.

The Maltese are known to be friendly and helpful
Most Maltese are friendly and helpful by nature and are usually more than happy to help you with whatever you need. So the best tip to give you is: If you’re unsure of anything, just ASK!

There’s a ferry that can take you from Malta to Gozo (and vice versa)
Although debates are ongoing over whether a permanent tunnel or bridge should connect Malta to its smaller sister island Gozo, currently it’s the ferry you’ll need to catch to get there. And perhaps that’s a good thing. Gozo is still relatively quiet and rural and a permanent connection may change the island for the worse. You can catch the ferry from Ċirkewwa (northern-most tip of Malta) to arrive at Mġarr, Gozo. It’s a 20-minute trip that goes past Comino straight across the channel between the larger of the two Maltese islands.

"At Camp Fire, a vital piece of our framework is ensuring that participants are engaged in the activity taking place – whether at an outdoor, after school, or early childhood program. "

Whether a 4-hour drive to Timpson, Texas or a 16-hour ride to Bloomfield, Colorado (both to visit family), summer car rides were pretty predictable in my family. Station wagon loaded, including three kids and a dog, we begin to head out - with my Dad poking along to do “one more thing” and my
