Life in a T@B necessitates being very thoughtful about what you carry with you. Everything must have a purpose, preferably more than one, and in the smallest volume possible. That doesn’t mean no luxuries, but you have to think space utilization. One luxury we like is alternate speakers for the entertainment system. Today we found a tiny Bose Bluetooth speaker with big sound that can replace our JBL speakers in a third of the volume and without the wires. Score!
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.
