Thoughts on New Orleans...

So I had a flight credit and decided to experience a new city.  So I picked a weekend the kids were with their dad, took 2 days off work, and headed down to New Orleans.

Observations -
1. Not really a good place for a single woman to be walking after dark, but I did walk the French Quarter and waterfront all day long and loved it.
2. Everything they cook has rice in it or is fried. Eating was difficult, but I managed.
3. Thank God I walked everywhere to make up for some of the food compromises I had to make.
4.  Beads - well, what can I say - I didn't "earn" any of them per se, but I did come home with some lovely 'beaded necklaces'.
5. Alcohol and Burbon Street - I only lasted about 3 blocks on Burbon St. Decatur with the shops and not quite so many topless-drunk people was more to my liking.
6.  Gotta do a swamp tour - I was out on a boat in a swamp for about 2 hours and the wildlife was incredible.

Overall - I'd do NO LA again....:)

Oh Caryn!!! I'm so glad you had a good time! save me a beaded necklace!!!!!! LOL

*HUGE BEAR HUGS*

Hey Aaron:
Deb and I were with Tia yesterday at Ocean City and we were also looking at some lovely beaded necklaces.  Thought you'd get a kick of of that.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! can you tell her if she's still around that I'm sorry I missed her phone calls over the weekend.....my phone was dead

If I talk to her I will.  She is hillarious!  Were your ears burning.  You've got 3 fans out here and we were talking about you.

is that what it was?????? my ears and whole body was burning over the weekend!!!!! LOL

We'll take credit for the ears, but as far as the body.  You may want to go and have that checked out (LOL).

Aaron, if other things were burning, you might want to check that out - they have antibiotics for that....

LMAO!!!!!!!!! yeah then I would really need some ointment or something!!!!! ROFL!!!!
