Mellieha in Malta

September 13, 2019 by Samantha Priestley1 Comment

It’s always difficult trying to find reasonably priced holidays in the summer school break, so when I spotted this package deal to Malta I snapped it up for me, my husband, Tom and my two daughters, Eva, 12, and Lily, 10. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as Malta used to have the reputation of being a destination for older holiday makers, rather than families, but it seems the island is trying to change all that. Our resort, Mellieha, has the … [Read more...]

Cheesecake in the Vineyard

August 12, 2019 by Wendy VanHattenLeave a Comment

To say food inspired me on a trip to Italy sounds trite and a little too rehearsed. After all, there are lots of people who have been inspired by Italian food. Right? I’m telling you...this was different. Maybe it was because this was our first trip to Italy. Or, maybe it was because it was before GPS, and we had to rely on maps, road signs, and our basic sense of direction to get to our food. Some meals were more of an adventure than … [Read more...]
