• I am giving my daughter a trip to Malta in May as a graduation gift. From anyone who has been there, I would like information on places of interest, restaurants, etc. — basically anything a tourist would find interesting. — Jim Bates; spook12spook12@yahoo.com
• We will be going to the South Caucasus for two weeks in September and do not know whether to rent a car, depend on public transportation or hire an agency to provide transportation and other details. Any advice would be appreciated. — Ed Deaton; edmund_deaton@yahoo.com
• From anyone who has taken Overseas Adventure Travel’s “Safari Serengeti” tour as a single traveler, I would like information on the single accommodations. What are the tented camps and the lodges like for someone who is traveling alone and has separate accommodations? Did you feel completely safe? How close is one tent to another tent? Did you feel isolated or too far away from other group members or staff at night? Please write to me c/o ITN (editor@intltravelnews.com or c/o ITN, 2116 28th St., Sacramento, CA 95818). — Barb Hartwell
