Washington to New Orleans
 

We are travelling in the US at the moment.
We are not big on tight itineries and like to plan as we go.
We expect to go to Costa Rica and will leave from New Orleans on say 7 January.
We expect to leave Washington on 29 December.
The idea is to travel by train from Washington to New Orleans.
Please post ideas on places to visit and time at each city.
Thanks

Oh and my name professor guitar is about love of music so Memphis is a must. I also want to see dualing banjos and southern country folk.

You should post your queries on the US board.

If you have not bought your train tickets you should do so as soon as possible. The price goes up as they sell seats. The Bedrooms are already sold out for Dec 29, although Roomettes are still available.

Thanks thursdaysd.
I'll try re-posting and get tickets.

I just visited New Orleans in August. Depending on how long you are going to stay there (I stayed 3 days), here are a few recommendations on things to see and do:

Attractions/Tours:
Jackson Square
Bourbon Street
Cemetery Tours
Harrah's Casino
Plantation Tours
Steamboat Natchez

Restaurants
New Orleans is known for their food. I recommend the following restaurants:
Eats Restaurant
Crescent City Brewhouse
Felix's
Cafe Du Monde

Jazz & Bars
Snug Harbor
Carousel Bar
Tujague's in the New Orleans French Quarter

When we took our trip there, I found a lot of information from http://www.neworleansonline.com/

I hope this helps a little

Have fun! Great city to visit

I have the same plan like you and your plan helps me a lot.

We visited New Orleans twice this year while traveling for our Blog. If you've never been these two posts will give you a general idea along with some specific places to check out.
