Hi,
I'm thinking of going to Gozo in November, but got a bit nervous when I saw how close it is to Libya. Did you experience any antisemitism?
Thank you!

If we go for a week is the unlimited bus pass worthwhile.  We tend to walk or take buses, never taxis.

We arrived at the Maltaferry terminal. (last year) From there we wanted to take the boat to Gozo.  We couldn't enter, as there was a bomb alarm in Gozo.  So we went back to Malta.

Looks like it does fluctuate.
You can always follow tommorow's price and see what happens.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Wow the prices really jump around.  For the dates I need I have seen prices between 300 and 800 dollars.

Since we dont want to sit on a bus half a day what are the best short trips we can take from our hotel from st. Julians.  We need to travel by bus.  Is there any snorkeling in st. Hulians or nearby?
Can we get a cheap snorkel set at the mall in st. Julians or isit a tourist trap?
Is bottled water cheap, can we get it at a supermarket in the mall?
Leaving tomorrow.

Just came back from four days in Malta.  We had a great time.  Holiday inn express for  20k points is a real bargain.  I will try to put together a trip report but happy to answer any questions.  This is a real up and coming travel destination.
