Queer4Travel is off to visit New Orleans Louisiana. We are arriving prior to Southern Decadence or Gay Mardi Gras. While we will not be in town for the Labor Day parade and celebration, we will be checking the city out for a future post about travel to the Big-Easy. We have not been to visit for over fifteen years and look forward to seeing the changes since Hurricane Katrina.
A Historic New Orleans Hotel
We thank the New Orleans Hotel Collection who have graciously comped us two nights at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. Located in the heart of the French Quarter, we look forward to their salt-water pool and modern amenities. Well located adjacent to two landmarks, the St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square.
Sightseeing and adventuring
Plans are to ride the streetcars, with Judy Garland singing in the back of our mind, as well as stroll Magazine Street in the Garden District to window shop the many antique stores.
No doubt we will find delicious meals and imbibe in fine libations as we experience the city for two days. Check out our Instagram and Twitter posts for updates, or tweet us with suggestions and ideas of where we should go.
Though we are going to be there for only a day or two, we expect to see some things we missed on our last trip to town. Most of all, we will be having fun!
We will be traveling on Southwest Airlines, and using the Uber Car sharing app to get to and from the hotel and MSY airport.
We look forward to Enjoying the Adventure!
