Once we were set up at Traverse City State Park across the highway from Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, Sally drove out to meet us and to get a tour of Sc@rlett. She hasn’t seen our specific version of the nüCamp T@B 400. However she did see Penelope, the prototype we road tested nearly two years ago. She brought a gift of two vine ripened tomatoes that a crafty black squirrel thieved from our outdoor table!
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.
