I’ll be honest, that’s what sealed the deal for me to head to New Orleans for Memorial Day. I MISS THAT SHOW! It catches a spirit that I admire in people & places. I wanted to see if it was real, this New Orleans spirit especially after what happened with Katrina.
My accommodations: Auberge NOLA
Affordable price & location. I was in a six-person female dorm room. The place is great and clean as a whistle. The staff was super friendly and the guests just made it all the more better! The courtyard was a great place to socialize. I would definitely return.

Places I explored:
The Garden District (beautiful)
The French Quarter (only the first few blocks are a smelly affair)
Lafayette Cemetery (gorgeous)
Frenchmen street & miles and miles of walking.
Algiers Ferry
Tours I used:
Free Tours by Foot (French Quarter & Garden District)
Save Our Cemeteries (dedicated to the preservation) Very important!!!
I fell madly in love while in New Orleans. Matter of fact, I still keep thinking about it and often daydream about jumping on a plane going back for more.
Grilled Oysters….why is the whole world not grilling oysters right in the fire?
Heaven……
Who had the best? THE BEST?
Hands down Drago’s !!! If there is a line it’s still worth the wait. They gave us a voucher to an upstairs bar and a free drink till our table was called.
