hazelson Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 CONGRATULATIONS ... now it's time to go shopping!!!!!!! Have you ever been to New Orleans before? That is one place I want to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txSherry Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Actually, yes! I went the first time when I turned 18 and was legally able to drink. My father, mother and I went on a post-graduation trip, and stopped there first ON my 18th birthday. Pat O's (at the time there was only one.) and continued onwards on a longer trip to NY, Niagra, Michigan etc. Travel with a 5th wheel trailer can be inexpensive and fun :-) Then in college, on easter break our choir spent the week traveling and performing and ended up in N.O. Then my first year of marriage we took a trip there. And that's the last time I've been. I do love the city, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelson Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Wow - you have been there lol. I have been hearing a lot about the bad crime wave that has happened since Katrina. We were actually set to sailout of NO a couple of months after Katrina hit. we had to go out of Galveston instead. Anything "must see" in New Orleans? The cemeteries really intrigue me - not to stay permanently - just to visit :o) What do you consider the best bets for food there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txSherry Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Oh no, i'm no means a New Orleans expert! I have a few places I'd like to go that i've never been to: Aquarium & zoo children's museum And some that I'd like to return to: Cafe du Monde Heritage Hall Walking along the river I know there's crime problems and I hope I don't regret this, but I'm going to just take precautions and enjoy myself there! DH & I love music so I hope to find some family friendly venues -- probably early evening dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelson Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm sure you will be fine - the warnings were to stay within the popular areas - especially after dark. I have heard of Cafe du Monde. The food in N.O. sounds wonderful, not on the heart smart diet though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
