where's Malta?! oh of course you don't live in Europe...
it's there, a nice little island in the Mediterranean Sea... i'd like to visit it sometime, Nick is so lucky
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt!! Seriously I have been to Malta, it was some time ago though, around 1996. One thing I would recommend is catching a ride on the remaining AEC and ThorneyCroft buses, if there are any left! Most have recently been replaced with more modern Low Floor buses
(Kneeling one - If you are in a wheelchair, the driver would see you at the entrance and "lower" the entrance level - just like modern UK buses, infact, they ARE UK buses, with forgen chassis!
).
As for the internet situation, I am not sure on that, atleast I don't remember seeing a telephone jack in the hotel I was in. Many places should theratically have Wi-Fi, not sure where but have a snoop around Valletta since that is the captial of Malta.
Oh, beware, I think Malta runs off the 2 pin 220v AC system! As I said, I was there ages ago, way before Wi-Fi was even a twinkle in someones eye!
Malta for comparasion is a rock, not too far from Sicily, about 60 to 100 miles, in fact. Now one place I have been to that I would love to go there again, the other being Teneriffe!

I hope this helps
