Please add myself and Mr. Hershey. I just decided a weekend in New Orleans would be splendid.

I am trying to Priceline a French Quarter hotel but I haven't been able to get $55 like Cocontom. Will keep trying. With 3 kids in college, $55 looks mighty good.

We're going to come down on Amtrak from Tuscaloosa.

Look forward to seeing some of you for the second time and meeting the rest of you.

Oh Yay! It will be great to see you again Hershey! Hoping you can find a hotel deal. I booked at the Dauphine Orleans a couple months back and glad I did because it looks like the rates have gone up there. Also try on Hotwire. I've had success with them on previous NYC trips!

This is going to be fun! Can't wait.

If anyone else wants to go with us, we're going on the 2:00 tour of Celebration Distillation.

Lenora, what is that?

Y'all have a blast! We're with you in spirit :-)

Wish I could be there - I'd love to meet you folks. Everybody have fun and we want to hear all about it when you get a chance!!

Hope you have a great time & a great turnout, I'll need to see pics...

Celebration Distillation is a rum distillery.

That does sound like fun, where is the distillery? I haven't heard of it.

I think I am going to get some shopping time in before the GTG. I get in Saturday, and then drive home Sunday, so don't have a lot of time.

Did you get my message in your inbox at Facebook with my cell phone number in case you need it?

See you at NOLA's! I can't wait to meet everyone.

Johanna

I did. The website gives directions more than a location, and I don't know the area well enough to know where it is. It's not in or walking distance to the Quarter.

Heading over to NOLA restaurant right now.

Thanks to everyone who came to the get together! I had a great time, and it was fun to meet everyone. Nice to be able to put faces to names now!

I agree...could not have had a better time...it was a pleasure meeting all of you!

Outstanding GTG! So much fun! Thanks for organizing it all, Johanna!!!!

I can not get the pictures to open but I had a great time! Fodorites are great people!

I cannot open the website :((

I was not able to access the pictures either. But sure glad you all had a fun and wonderful GTG!

Me either...........altho I'm scared to see how awful I look!

Well, I'll have to figure out what happened to the pictures, but for those of you on Facebook, I have them posted there.
