If you ever think about going to Malta, contact Damon…he’ll craft an amazing trip for you. He was absolutely delightful! Always on time, always helpful, and always attentive to everyone’s needs, which were often a challenge. Our driver throughout our adventure was Super Mario. There was an outdoor pool, but since it was not heated it saw very limited use. It was a castle-like structure built in the late 1500s that had been updated to include all the amenities of the current day. Our lodging in Valletta was equally impressive but in a different way. ![]() We stayed at a beautiful villa in Gozo that was very well appointed and included a heated indoor swimming pool! You can imagine how excited the grandkids were when they walked in the front door and saw an indoor pool. The entire itinerary was wonderful, but two things made this trip exceptional: the lodging and our driver. I’m not sure if Carl or the grandkids had more fun. The last night of the trip we had Chef Carl come to our lodging and prepare a meal with the four grandkids. The next day we started by visiting a baker and his wife where we made a local pastry called pastizzi, spent time with a local artisan who made musical instruments, visited a honey farm and ended the day with a visit to a sheep farm where we sampled some delicious cheeses. ![]() The next day we took a private tour of underground Valletta, and that afternoon we took a private dghajsa boat ride across the Valletta harbor for more exploration. His enthusiasm was contagious and for a large portion of our group, this event was the highlight of the trip. The next day we toured the ruins of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples and then spent an amazing afternoon with the local falconer who brought an owl, Harris hawk and Maltese falcon to share with the entire group. Our activities included an all-morning quad biking experience on Gozo, a multi-course picnic lunch with wine on a secluded bay, followed by bocci ball with local players. The itinerary was heavy in outdoor activities and we spent minimal time indoors to keep the grandkids engaged. The trip was exceptionally well organized due to the time Damon spent prior to the trip determining what our interests were and how to maximize time spent making memories with our grandchildren. The trip included grandparents, children and grandchildren ages 16 to 10. ![]() The Fisher Family enjoying a picnic lunch in Maltaįamily fun in the Maltese Islands-our group of nine just returned from a weeklong Spring break trip to Malta organized by Damon.
