New Orleans
I got back from New Orleans a week ago but have been sick since then so I know I'm a little late in getting this up, what can you do? I was in New Orleans for a week to attend a training class and then the Marriott Extended Stay GM's Conference. All of Marriott's classes are always fun to attend and they pull out all the stops. I did have some time to sight see a little and the hotel was only a block or so from the infamous Bourbon St., which I was not all that impressed with. Maybe if strip clubs and all you can drink slushie hurricanes were my thing I would think otherwise. Needless to say, there was lots of other stuff to see. I finally saw the Mississippi River, I didn't have the time to go look at it when I was in Memphis, that was also just down the street from the hotel. The French Quarter is pretty amazing and beignets are a new favorite of mine. Beignets are pretty much French doughnuts, but SO good. I brought back a box of the mix so Michael would believe me. The food was good, I tried alligator, rabbit and oysters (oysters are gross) and every meal at the conference had some type of seafood which was awesome. Although I was glad to finally find a Subway for lunch one day. It would have been more fun if Bud had been able to come up to see me or if Michael could have come for a few days, but he had to stay home and watch the puppies. :)
