Garland had never been to Savannah before and I was excited for him to experience it – wish we would have had more time. Will definitely go back when we’re not working.
Both of us were excited to go to New Orleans and we booked a New Year’s Eve cruise on the Creole Queen. We watched fireworks from the paddleboat on the Mississippi! Had to do something special for our 12th anniversary! 🙂
Biggest tip about camping in New Orleans (don’t do it- or pick a campground outside the city). We heard gunshots (no lie) ALL night long. People shoot up in the air…for no reason other than stupidity. We had a lift driver say if she had received our request to pick up after 5pm, she would not have come…and she lives there! I was really nervous about getting back home (to the 5th whl) and the pups on New Year’s Eve at 1am. Note: after this trip we watched a show about EMS and Police in NO – for a few hours on New Year’s eve they have to wear body armer helmets because of all the stray bullets falling from the sky! Yeah, don’t know if we would have planned our trip, knowing this! I know we’ll never stay in the 8th district again!
Spent more on lifts and food in NO than any other place we’ve ever vacationed! But, the food we had all week was fantastic! Not inexpensive but worth it for sure – everyone should go at least once…just stay in a hotel of some kind in the Quarter or Garden district. 🙂
