For those visiting Pompeii this year, you might want to mark your calendar for a show on the Discovery channel titled "Pompeii the last day." It will be on January 30, at 9:00 PM EST.

I needed that reminder. I've been looking forward to this program. I'm planning on seeing the real thing in September. ;)

Just watched the show. It was really well done and I still plan to visit Pompeii however a potential eruption could be a slight snag in the plans.

 

Essentially, I hope she/he (don't know the sex of a volcano ....lol) never blows again !! however the price of the excursion would be severely discounted if it erupts.

It is being shown again on Feb. 1st @ 8 and 11 pm ET - good thing because I missed it last night!

We have visited twice....and recognized (easily) some of the "buildings" and "body casts" when they flashed back.....I remember both times we did the tour standing there - down in the town - and looking toward the volcano and wondering just how horrible it would be....could be.

 

Enjoyed this special - thanks for the reminder.

Princess should get ahold of this and show it the night before we sail into Naples. I would love to see it again. It will be our second visit to Pompeii and even more meaningful now.

 

Secondly I think about lovely Mt. St Helens that I cans see very nicely from here in Portland. I sure dont want to be one of the next set of human casts. It made me realize how lucky we were when St Helens blew last time. I watched the mountain blow up from the top the hospital on the west hills where I worked. To say the least it was sensational but now scary in perspective.
