Welcome back, Robin! How was your trip? I was on a 4-day Mexican cruise last week and only managed to read one HR book.

Mexican Cruise. Wow, I bet that was nice!

We had a great time in New Orleans. My favorite thing was touring the oldest cemetery in the city. So interesting! We ate lots of good food too. Loved the beignets and Seafood Etouffe.

[Anita]

I took a daughter and granddaughter for their Christmas and birthday presents. They have everything and I thought an adventure was a better gift. It was a lot of fun.

Did you get out of New Orleans? I'm reading Blood Moon right and it is set in the bayou.

[Erin]

Finished A Little Bit Wicked. Started Vendetta in Death

We pretty much stayed in the city. I would have liked to have done a swamp tour. I didn't get to see any live alligators at all.

I’ve been to New Orleans nine times and that cemetery was fascinating. I also had seafood cheesecake at a restaurant called The Palace that was forced on me and I fell in love. The bayou tour was scary.

Nine times? I bet you know the city well. I would like to spend more time there, checking out some of the museums. We did get to see Mardi Gras World (fun) and the National World War II Museum (interesting but hard to find our way around it).

I love seafood and I like cheesecake, but that sounds like a strange combination.

[Robin]

I listened to The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez.

I do know the city well. It changed a lot after Katrina.

My last visit before Katrina was work related. We were there to plan the sales trip for the top sales team for my company. So, we had a consultant taking us to a gazillion venues for consideration and the sites were trying to curry favor. It was outstanding. Hubby went to WWII Museum but he was there for a specific thing (which he found). We chose Mardi Gras World as one of our venues!

That seafood cheesecake? I was forced to eat it because it does sound awful. It was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time. Still remember it.

Glad you had a good time.
