| For this year's Alzheimer's Walk Manager's conference they're doing a national get-together in New Orleans. So I tagged along! I'm writing this from our hotel room. It's our first day and we've been up since 4am (PST) and are exhausted. Tomorrow Anna has to work, but I'll be exploring the city. Here's our first day of traveling and eating. | |
 |
It's hard to look excited when you're boarding a plane at 5am, so cut me a little slack. On the inside, however, I was... okay, tired. And still in a bit of shock that we're actually GOING. We actually drove down Wednesday evening and stayed at Misha's and Jeanny's in San Carlos. Misha generously drove us to the airport at an ungodly hour. THANK YOU. |
 |
Here we are on the tarmac in SFO, waiting push-back for our adventure to really begin |
 |
And then we were off, climbing above the fog blanketing SFO. Next stop, DENVER! |
 |
Yup, we're in Denver. Grabbing a snack and biding our time during our two and a half hour stop over. |
 |
We're off again. Next stop, New Orleans!! |
 |
In no time we were flying next to the Mississippi on approach to Louis Armstrong International Airport. Yes, we're really here! |
 |
It's a little dark, but here's the view from our room. |
 |
A little better view of the big buildings outside our window -- we're on the 12th floor just outside the French Quarter. |
 |
So it's dinner time, and your options are room service, the restaurant in the hotel or a New Orleans landmark, Mother's, which is conveniently located right across the street. You decide. Well, here's what we decided: Anna had their famous roast beef po'boy, in the background we split a cup of red beans and rice, and... |
 |
I had the "debris" po'boy. These were awesome. Seriously, with the choices listed above, and in accordance to our "No Meal Left Behind (In The Big Easy)" we really had no other option. |
 |
Standing outside the door at Mother's this is looking up at our hotel. If you follow up the right edge of the hotel, about half-way up the picture there's a really bright window on the corner. That's us. |
 |
As I mentioned above, we're just outside the French Quarter. After dinner we walked around the block just barely skirting the Quarter. This is (obviously) not the Quarter, but it's still a cute street that leads back to our hotel. Tomorrow Anna's got work all day. I, however, will be out and about town. You can bet I'll make sure I photograph everything! More soon! |
