Thoughts on New Orleans...

I sooooooooooooo Love NO. My ex hubby was from LA and we went to NO went we would visit. Yes alot of their food is either fried or very rich in thickness, but sooo yummy. Glad you had a good time, but please be careful. I hear it's a little more dangerous since Katrina. I would love to go again, and before surgery wqould be GREAT but don't think that will happen.

One of my sister's lives about 3 hours west of NO.  All of the sister's (there are 6 of us) went down there for a bachelorette weekend for sister #4 (I'm the oldest) and had a great time.  My DH and I are thinking about going down for our Anniversary in December, I'll have to research restaurants to find some that are WLS-friendly.

Glad you had a good time!

Hey Heather, maybe hop on a LA board here on OH to see about some local places from some locals! :) 

Great idea...thanks!

Hey Heather!  Enjoy if you do go down. It will take some looking and asking to customize to eat - everything is fried or with rice. One place on Decatur had salad with boild shrimp and crab meat, that worked, and there are fast food places like subway where you can customize kiddie subs-but n one in their right mind goes to NO LA and eats at Subway....we just need to be creative! :)

Caryn,

I am so glad you had a good time.  I hope you brought me a super pretty "beaded necelace"  I've been thinking about it since you told me you were going to NO.

Next time you go away and need a travel partner, let me know!  With the right amount of notice, I'm in!!

You got it Kim! 

I have lots of pretty "beaded necklaces" - I know you won't be able to make August's event (separate thread coming gang...) but I'll save you one!
