Whirlwind of a weekend!

Remember that feeling after riding the tea cups at Disney as a child?
That's how I feel this morning after our whirlwind trip to New Orleans for game night. Whew - what a ride!

We had a fabulous time and the best part? First class on the way home! We flew standby both ways, and suprisingly enough - getting there and back wasn't a problem. Our group even got to sit together on the way there! On the way back, however, we had to split up...four of us made the first flight, while two had to stay behind. Fortunately for me and Mr. SDP, our seats were in first class.

NOLA was great. The weather, the people, the drinks...fantastic!

There was only one dramatic episode that came at the end of a fabulous meal at Cochon in the Warehouse District. There was a dispute over the bill...no apology from the staff regarding the bottle of wine they charged us that we didn't order...unwillingness to split checks...unbelievably rude manager who apparently spits nails in her free time...you get the idea.

I refuse to let that one little disturbance take away from what was otherwise an amazing trip.
