If Europe opens up for us USers, my plan is to travel to Zurich and spend a few days in Switzerland so that my daughter & I can spend time w/her Swiss AFS host family. I would love to meet them. She wants to show me all the sights in Switzerland that were her favorites. Then we can fly direct from Zurich to Malta & plan on spending 5 days there. Malta looks so cool & interesting (except for the mosquitoes). Then a return trip home with a one night stop in Zurich again. Malta is NOT easy to get to!Me too !!

Sounds wonderful! Zurich is a nice city and the train system in Switzerland is fantastic...lots of beautiful places to go. From USA, Malta is a hike...for me , not too bad... I hope we can all resume our travels soon!!!!☺If Europe opens up for us USers, my plan is to travel to Zurich and spend a few days in Switzerland so that my daughter & I can spend time w/her Swiss AFS host family.

thanks to all. We've been to Dublin/Cork/Belfast before on a cruise, but not the West coast. I saw that AA is planning to fly next summer nonstop from KEF-PHL, so looks like Iceland might beat out Ireland for this trip.
Good plan! Looks like that Marriott has a great location, you can literally walk (and ferry) into Valetta, lots to see and do there plus a transportation hub. Don't miss the Hypogeum, make reservations in advance, and other pre-history sites. We got a direct flight to Malta from Vienna, probably on a low-cost carrier. This was part of a 4-wk trip across the pond and there weren't that many ways to go directly to MaltaIf Europe opens up for us USers, my plan is to travel to Zurich and spend a few days in Switzerland so that my daughter & I can spend time w/her Swiss AFS host family.

Malta *is* really different, so glad we went. We love pre-history, and there are multiple places to visit (ruins, goddess temples, and as I mentioned the Hypogeum which is older than the pyramids). And more recent history too, from early Christian, to medieval, to WWII and more - and the landscapes, the architecture, and the language with some Arabic derivation. We ferried over to Gozo too, where we visited another pre-historic site and explored some rocky coastline. Never spent any lounging beach time, we ran out of days.@Laurie Thank you so much! Sounds like you've been. What did you think? It just looks so cool & different! And, no, we don't need to retrace our steps back to Zurich, so these are some wonderful ideas. Thank you!
I really, really hope this trip works. I always planned to take my daughter on a Euro trip upon HS graduation. Let's hope it happens.
There are flights to Munich and Frankfurt as well from Malta. Looks like alot of connections made there. Munich is a good stop off and central to many sites.Good plan!

Another easy return route could be to take a jumper flight over to Catania Sicily, cheap and plentiful (or ferry if you don't mind), spend a few days as we did in Taormina, then EasyJet has many cheap flights into Milan which historically, for me at least, has been the easiest Euro hub to find FF flights in and out of -- if you didn't want to retrace your steps back to Zurich.
So is Malta a small Island off the Scotttish or Irish Coast?
We got a bit sidetracked....oops!!!☺☺☺So is Malta a small Island off the Scotttish or Irish Coast?

I am sorry if I offended anyone. But if I was searching for info on how to travel to Malta or things to do in Malta I would not search in the middle of a thread about Scotland and Ireland.
