A Sunday morning adventure! At the suggestion of John, one of Greg’s friends from their Boston College days, we headed into town for the 11AM screening of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at the huge multiplex theaters across from the Boston Commons. Thus we’ve had the experience of seeing the same movie in a small town in the mountain s and in one of the biggest cities in the northeast!
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.
