After a couple of balmy nights at the KOA in Richmond Hill GA, we awakened to gray skies and a forecast of colder temperatures and rain reminding us that today’s the day to winterize! We each luxuriated in one last shower then began packing. Knowing that we have two days of travel and two more nights at freezing temperatures, this morning was the morning to begin moving our clothing and gear into the truck and to test the claim that the T@B 400 is easy to winterize. We got it all done and we’re finally on the highway while it’s still morning. Just barely!
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.
