WONDERFUL

I love that city. I smile every time I see a picture of the "Jax Brewery' I remember the original building..it had to be the ugliest, worn out building in the world. NO is one great time!

One of our favorite cities to visit as well. We're only about 2 hours from our house to walking down Bourbon Street. Good rates in June and July due to the heat, and it WAS hot when we were there this past weekend. Gets us in shape for Playa.

Hotel was in a GREAT location, but we could hear a pretty good amount of street noise from app. midnite to daylite, but hey -- it's NEW ORLEANS!! We got up the next day, drove to Baton Rouge for the Kenny Chesney concert, had a blast -- will try and post THAT slide show soon --

I would have LOVED to seen Kenny - he is supposed to come with Jimmy Buffet to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach in July for a benefit concert.

tbay13 · 06-21-2010

Kenny put on a great show at Tiger Stadium, over 50,000 in attendance. Opening acts were Jason Aldean and Brooks and Dunn. Chesney brought out, during the show, Les Miles (who got a few boos) and Sean Peyton, the place went nuts. Later brought out Uncle Kracker and they sang 'Drift Away' and a couple more, it was the best Chesney concert we've seen, out of 3. Yes, Buffet announced last nite that he, Chesney, and Zac Brown would play a benefit on Thursday July 1. We get back from Playa on 6/30, gonna try and make it anyway.

TAPPY · 06-24-2010

No tickets to be had - sold out.

I love it when Uncle Cracker plays with KC !

tbay13 · 06-25-2010

Yes, just heard the people on the Coast are pi$$ed -- 35000 'free' tix, nearly all went to out of towners to try and lure them to the beach for 4th of July weekend. hmmmmmmmm.............and now many tix for SALE from those who got them free!! What a racket --

TAPPY · 06-26-2010

they should have put some aside for the locals ...but hopefully the tourist will bring there $$$ to help out and support the local business owners to (have they been slow ???)

According to daily news reports, yes, most businesses rely HEAVILY on May thru Labor Day to carry them the rest of the year., and they are hurting for ANY customers. Buffet concert will help for a few days, then who knows. You can go to www.al.com and click on the Mobile newspaper to find articles, pics, updates, etc.

Will be going here in a few wee:

Hotel in New Orleans: Renaissance Arts Boutique New Orleans, LA Hotel Near New Orleans Convention Center

And going to Emerils for a dinner party that night.

Cant wait.
