New Orleans, Louisiana

[OnyxCougar]

Well, I'll only have the kids on one of the days, so I was thinking Aquarium of the Americas + Zoo + IMAX thing that day for the 5 of us on that day, then the expensive plantation/swamp tour for the adults, I was thinking riverwalk, but I've never liked mall shopping per se.

We're not renting a car, we're going all local transportation (trolley, walking, taxi, tour van). Karen (at the B&B we're staying at) says parking is a serious bitch. So we're foregoing it. I do want to go to ONE fancy-pants restaurant while I'm there, but I don't know where I want to go. I was thinking Emeril's, but I actually want to EAT for my $200, as opposed to being served this teeny-weeny portion of food.

I don't wanna get drunk, I don't wanna spend $500 at the mall. I can do that HERE. (Although, I do wanna pick up a couple tshirts.) I'm more interested in the history and character of the place.

We're thinking about the voodoo and cemetary tours, too.
