Sounds like it's going to be fun!!!!

It's New Orleans! Not having fun is impossible!

I can't wait to try Old New Orleans Cajun Spice Rum and sweet tea!

I finally booked our hotel. Will be staying at the Dauphine Orleans in the FQ...thanks for the recommendation Starrs!

Really looking forward to seeing everyone!

This should be fun!

I currently have a reservation at the Dauphine Orleans, but I just saw on Travelocity that I can book a room for one night at the Monteleone. I've always wanted to stay there. On their website, they have a two night minimum.

Do you guys have a time & place yet, just in case some of manage to show up ?

I liked the Monteleone. It's been 6+ years though so I don't know what it's like now. Good location, though.

I'd like to get a list of names of people who are coming. I thought dinner at Nola would be fun. The food has been good every time I've been there, and not too expensive.

I'll get into town Saturday morning, if anyone wants to drive with me over to Domelise's for a poboy for lunch, let me know.

You can put me down as a maybe, maybe...I'm still in the process of getting moved back home for work. Until that is a done deal, I am at teh mercy of my employer.

I'll definitely be there. Just deciding if I will drive or take a taxi.....................

Put me down for a definite, plus mom who is traveling with me!

I'm a maybe. DF may come down from CO to spend the weekend and if so...

won't know for a while though.

Ok. I'll be a maybe...transportation from PNS (bridges, ya know...) is my main objective right now.

I live in Metairie and just joined. I don't know if I'll be doing the GTG but I wanted to mention that I have booked a single night at the Hotel Monteleone previously on a weekend. Especially if it is last minute you can call to book if online doesn't work.

Welcome NolaKaty! You should come!

(I grew up and went to school in Metairie)

Hi NolaKaty

Thanks for the tip about the Monteleone! You should come to the GTG! Especially since you're so close.

Thanks. I've lived in Metairie my entire life with the exception of the 1.5 years I ventured as far away as River Ridge.
