Let’s start with the DON’Ts:
Don’t Take your 4 year old. Just
don’t.
Don’t use priceline to book your
hotel…you’ll end up in The French Quarter, on Bourbon Street, with your 4 year old that
you shouldn’t have brought. Just don’t.
Don’t try to get those pretty
beaded necklaces…they come with a cost. Just don’t.
Don’t think that there are rules
in New Orleans,
because apparently they threw them all out the window along with their tops.
Just don’t.
Don’t open your eyes while
walking on Bourbon Street…you’ll
be scarred for life! Just don’t.
Don’t eat the Gumbo if you have
somewhere to be soon after. Just don’t.
Don’t say, “yes, he is, “
(referring to your husband) when someone suggests “The Po’ Boy…” it’s a
sandwich! Just don’t.
Don’t open your door at midnight
when the man is trying to beat it down all the while screaming profanities at
you because he thinks you’re his cheating girlfriend! Just don’t.
Don’t fret when everyone on your
hotel floor is up in the hallway laughing and yelling at 4:00 AM…they aren’t up
early, they just haven’t made it to bed yet.
Don’t get confused with the one
way streets…just know that whatever way you want to go, the street is opposite!
Don’t eat the beignets! I
examined these…several times (you know, for research) & have come to the
conclusion that they use some kind of voodoo stuff to get you addicted ALMOST
making you want to return to NOLA simply to indulge in the beignet! Just don’t.
There are more don’ts, but quit frankly, they aren’t “blog appropriate!” Now,
for the DO’s:
Do stay home, relax, and thank
God that you aren’t in New Orleans!
I’m serious! We did have a great time visiting with friends,
and eating. Here are a few shots of our NOLA adventure.
