Oh fun!

β€œany suggestions?”

Yes, take me with you!!

I’ve only been there once. The things I enjoyed the most was the street car ride getting to see some of the old homes. And a tour of some of the plantations. That’s touristy stuff but may be a bit different than typical New Orleans Touristy stuff. Everybody had clothes on and nobody was drunk.

I went to NoLa in 2018 and had a GREAT TIME. I loved it. We went on a Riverboat Cruise to the Chalmette Battlefield, where the last battle of the War of 1812 was fought. So much fun! Then, we went to the Aquarium. During our time and maybe not in order, we went to the Butterfly Museum, stopped in Harrads to use the bathroom, listened to street music, dropped into a bar where Tuba Skinny was playing (maybe on Royal Street), ate at Court of Two Sisters, went to the Presbyterian Church on Sunday down in the Garden District near some university (!), ate Sunday dinner at La Maison nearby (that was a Mexican food restaurant, real Mexican NOT TexMex.) and went up the River Road to tour Oak Allee. Big Sigh. All touristy and wonderful! I’d go back in a heartbeat.

After NoLa we went over to Gulfport and Biloxi.

When you get to gulf, be prepared to hear stories of Katrina. Also, imo, Biloxi and Gulfport had it far, far worse than NoLa. NoLa suffered from the democrat government over time diverting funds for the upkeep of the levees. That is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL for NoLa. Biloxi and Gulfport bore the brunt of the hurricane. Ask a resident there why they keep hatchets and axes in their attics now.

A tour of plantations would be cool. I went there once as a kid and the other time don’t remember much, 😎
Good food and good music, old cemeteries left after Katrina.
