A few hours on the rock...

Hey there!

My last post was a week ago and this is because of one great weekend, that is, last weekend! I was in Malta!! The last time I had visited Malta was in April so that was nearly 3 months ago. I really needed to go back down, see my family, my little nephew and my girlfriend Ingrid.

Unfortunately my trip to Malta did not start very well because of... guess what... a delay! Actually not a delay but a DELAY!!!!! I was scheduled to arrive in Malta at 2300 but ended up arriving at 0300 on Saturday morning!! Four hours delay!! I was dead tired when I arrived in Malta. But anyway it was still worth it. I'm really glad I breathed some Maltese air. The weekend was great and I enjoyed every minute of it. Ingrid prepared a couple of little surprises which made the weekend even better! Saturday night, we went to a Wine Bar and I thought we were going to be alone but found some friends waiting there! It was great to meet some friends I hadn't seen for months. Thanks a lot for coming guys and gals! When I get back to Malta for good, I need to make a big reunion with lots of people!

I was also happy to see my cute little nephew again. Having discovered the art of walking, he's now moving all around wherever he goes, always trying to find out and do something naughty heh! I was also happy to see my parents again. Anyway, on the whole it was great and thanks to everyone for making it so, my parents, my sister and husband, my friends, and... my girlfriend Ingrid, for the wonderful surprises and memories. I miss you!!

I will try to go again to Malta in August. I do need to feel the Maltese summer sun and heat!! So, I hope I'll see you all once again in August!! As for the course here, I'm doing well. We had a progress test of Meteorology today, which is why I haven't updated the blog immediately. I did great. Next test is next Wednesday, Gas Turbines. I have quite a lot to prepare for it. Tomorrow I also have my third FNPT-II mission so tonight I have to prepare some flows and checklists again. Below is a picture from last week's sim session. That's after the mission, "parked" in Falcon Field with the airplane shut down after 1 hour 30 minutes of flying!

Anyway... I'm off to start going through some flows and checklists... Till next time!! Miss you all!
