Rome/Malta again...no success

Once again I am over in Europe, but to be more specific Rome, Malta and then on to Spain. Most porn directors/producers never speak of their failures, but then again, I don't think I am your normal porn director (the majority of my blog is dedicated to politics and travel and not my porn-doings). The first failure was back in March, but in the end that failure was foreseen and I planned for it. I was suppose to film a movie in Malta back in March but I decided to pay down some debts which left me with little cash (I am a cash run business basically) to film, so I decided to take my bambino along and turn it into a much needed vacation. This time, however, I had the funds but models flaked both in Rome and Malta! AHHHH! Well, not so ahhhh, because I had massive jet-lag (I have not had such bad jet lag in a long time) so Rome was shot and my quick hop over to Malta for 1 1/2 days ended up in meeting a very nice man that offered his yacht and farmhouse for future shoots on this amazingly unknown and extremely cheap part of the European Union.

Even though Malta is about a 1 hour and 10 minute flight from Rome, dear Air Malta loves to make a stop in Reggio Calabria on the southern tip of Italy before continuing on to Malta (a quick 20 minutes....wolf down the crackers and drink up the cup of water quickly!) As annoyed as I may sound and as ridiculous a stop along such a short route sounds I do suggest doing it once. Why you ask? Well, you may not be able to tell from the picture but that is the lava from Mt. Etna. You have to take the late afternoon departure from Rome and make sure the plane stops in Reggio Calabria and sit on the right side of the aircraft to fly right over Mt. Etna upon departure from Reggio Calabria. If that did not excite me enough, upon landing in Malta there was a whale on the runway! Well, not the sea going type, but the flying type...the Russian manufactured Antonov aircraft! You have to see it to believe it with its wings hovering from the top of the fuselage instead of sticking out the side like the American made Boeing 747 or the European made A380. OK, call me whatever you want. May I suggest geek or nerd, or total geek or just travel tard? As some of you get turned on my huge, well, think for a minute, I get all excited by huge planes, oh, and that other thing that I made you think about too. Confused you yet? I think I confused myself!

Anyway, off to Spain tomorrow to finally get some work done!
