Camping World, Lockport, Genesee Country

2013 New England, New York, Road Trip, States

Gave another tour of the camper. We thought we’d do fewer of these once we moved out of the teeny teeny tiny trailer but it seems we’re getting more interest that ever before. Once we were on the road we headed to the outskirts of Buffalo and Camping World. It’s sort of a supermarket of camping/RV gear. We found a few fun things that should make life in the T@B even better. From there we decided to skirt Buffalo and head up to Lockport. It’s locale that Steve has been hearing about all his life. His mother visited cousins there many times and Steve remembers visits to Cincinnati by his Great-Aunt Katherine from Lockport. Actually we believe that Third Cousin Peter still lives there. Based on records in the Research Files on our genealogy site we located three addresses associated with family history. As we were leaving town we paused for a phone call and discovered two things. The first is that it is fun to take an ice cream break by just going back to the camper and scooping out some “Everything But The…” and that there was a local AAA office across the street. We took the opportunity to learn more about the area before continuing east and ending the day at the Genesee Country Campground where we met more friendly people who were fascinated with our little trailer.

The Ruins of Pompeii

The Ruins of Pompeii

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.

Half a Day in Rome

Half a Day in Rome

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.
