That does look pretty sweet. Memories like those are worth their weight in gold.
Sadly I am (comparitively) Avios rich and time poor, so I am considering Japes like trips with 0 or 1 day off work to these destinations.
Gozo may have to wait for the next visit when I can take more time.
And in a very nonFT twist I'll probably take the train to LHR\LGW instead of flying from MAN as it's actually quicker as well as cheaper (in Avios) from where I live.
I guess you are less than 50 miles away from NCL (the distance between me and MAN) making that morning hop to London a little more viable to do by air.
