Day Sixteen:September 12th: OFF WE GO TO UMBRIA

LUQA AIRPORT
Luqa Airport in Malta was not the small place that I saw some twenty years ago. It has grown as has the island. Now it was off to new adventures in Umbrian wine country. We boarded Flight KM 614 to Rome at 17:45 (5:15 PM). Off to new sensations and Adventures In Wine Country.
