New Orleans, Travel Musings

Last week my aunt called. She’s been working in New Orleans, living in the Garden District. It seems that most of my family has visited The Big Easy; one of my cousins graduated from Tulane, another goes for spiffy conferences, which means that a lot of people have visited for one reason or another. Except me. So when I saw airfares from Phoenix get down to below $250 (just barely, but still), I couldn’t resist. My honey and I are heading out as soon as I get off work and before he starts his in early June, and stay for a week.

-eat
