New Orleans Trip Report - April 21 - 28, 2013

Do I need an excuse to return to New Orleans?  NO!  I have been pining to return since my last visit in Nov. 2010 (my first blog post too).  So, an invite from the people I cruised with last year in April was taken seriously and I told them I would join.  I ended up not doing the cruise portion because my friend(?) bowed out of doing this trip altogether after committing to it, and she was to be my roommate. She was also paying half so that hurt me financially.

New Orleans Trip Report - Nov. 14 - 21, 2010

I first went to New Orleans when I was 23. My friends were stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana and were officers in the army. I flew down to visit staying with them in Leesville. My time in LA was ten days but my time in the French Quarter was short. Only one day/night, but I have always remembered it, and have always wanted to return.  I bought a "Spuds MacKenzie" T-shirt that day in the FQ, for those of you that remember who Spuds was...I remember this because I still have the picture of me wearing it in NOLA.  I also have pictures of my friend and I dancing on a stage with male strippers.  One was wearing knee pads and a thong, which still makes me giggle...
