Malta, June 2010 - Farewell Malta - World Cup US vs England
Last day in Malta. Boo hoo! Got up around 7ish and went to breakfast. I was about half way done went Dan walked in. We ate together, he is staying an extra day so he is talking off to do his thing. I headed back to the room to shower and start packing. I updated my journals and continued transferring music over to iTunes. Then I walked over to the grocery store for cheese, bacon and chocolate. I checked out and waited in the lobby for the driver and my Visa. FCM arrived and handed over my passport. Scott and Natalie showed up, then David Martinez and Doug. I did not know that David and Doug were in town. A driver arrived around 12:30 and said he was there for me and me only. I thought that was odd but oh well. I guess the other drivers will arrive to pick up the others. Checked it and waited in the business lounge. I left to do some last minute chocolate shopping. I found Lindt’s Champagne Truffles. I cannot wait to try them. We boarded the plane on time then waited for a late arriving plane with 15 connecting passengers. Then we waited again. Finally they told everyone that there was a baggage miscount so everyone on board had to go out to the tarmac and ID their luggage. We finial took off and hour and a half late. What a difference in temperatures! 80s in Malta with a nice sea breeze, compared to 112 and a very hot breeze from the south (Sahara). I got home and Skyped Tracy, she skipped her outing so was available to chat. Well our World Cup party was a hit! We must have had 50 employees show up. Considering we only have 150 in Tripoli, that’s a great turnout! Moreover, the best part the game was a tie, 1-1! Which is a win for USA and a loss for the England. Before the game, the Brits were all full of themselves. Ranting and shouting, heck even Gareth. England scored first within the first 5 minutes. The US scored 30 minutes later, which quiet the UK crown down. They were so down and sad that the game was a tie.
