Walked around the base for an hour while my daughter took a nap.  Today is a day to get laundry done and pack for the tour since our day tour of the Caserta Royal Palace was cancelled due to lack of interest.

I will go back later and update my blogs at Leslie's orders. 

/**************************************/

Today is kind of a rest day.  My daughter is suffering pretty badly from allergies and our tour of the Reggio (old palace) of Naples was cancelled because not enough people registered.  We hit the Naval Exchange again and got reimbursed for the cancelled tours and I bought toys for my grandkitties.  They are finally in love with me and won't leave me alone.  We are doing laundry and repacking our bags for the BIG TOUR - we leave early Friday morning to head back to Rome.  Also, Jer's mother and grandmother arrive in Rome on the last day of our tour and we will be bringing them back to Naples with us.

I love reading about your traveling adventures! The road system seems crazy! How do they live that way? And dumping BAGS of trash out the windows...! Holy Cow! I guess traveling is one way to help appreciate the things we have here in America! Keep safe and have a great time!
