Well, not really the hills but a bus, a plane, and a small island. Kiki left yesterday on her school's music tour. 150 kids from the high school's choir, band, orchestra to tour Malta and perform 5 or 6 times over the next five days.
Malta is a small little island off Italy, more specifically a little south of Sicily. If you imagine the Italy "boot" kicking a dirt clod (Sicily), Malta would be one of the little pieces of dirt that breaks off - specifically toward Libya or Tunisia. I know I have mentioned it before, but I think this is one of the best perks about our adventure. Kiki is learning how to be an independent traveller (as independent as you can be within a group of 150). On this trip they are doing quite a bit of sightseeing during the day, so she will really get a feel for Malta. They do most of their performances at night. The trip culminates with a performance at a big festival honoring the 50th anniversary of the Rome Treaty, which recognized Malta as a part of Europe. Apparently quite the big deal for Malta.
Can you imagine being a businessman having to travel to Malta on one of these flights? You would be torn - sitting next to crying baby for next four hours or in midst of teenage section for next four hours. I hope they have good bar carts, I am sure some people on that plane are going need it. I just pray it is not the pilot!

Harry will be going to Sicily in a couple of weeks. Maybe you can "kick" him!
