We videoconferenced with CJ and with Dave this evening. It’s fun to hang out with our kids even if they are not in town. The special treat tonight was seeing Riley. She does not get the concept. It looks like Nana & Grandpop are on TV. She’ll talk to her Dad about it, but won’t talk to the computer screen, even if we are talking directly to her!
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
