Looks like we won't be going back home for the holidays but we'll have a few days off in early 2014 and we're thinking about spending a bit of time in Louisiana.
 
Why Lousiana? Ask my wife. I have nothing against the idea though. Hey, Trent Reznor had a recording studio there. And there was an episode of the Hulk shot there. And as french Canadians, we kind of feel that there's some history for us to see there...
 
The in laws travelled through a few states last spring and had nothing but good thing to say about New Mexico and Texas, in particular. Me, I'd have flown straight to NC and rented a car and driven back all the way here - with a mandatory stop in Memphis and Tupelo, with a detour in New Orleans. But we don't have that much time... Next year maybe.
 
Anyway - Do's and don'ts and other suggestions are welcome. :)

Don't forget bayoubill and MM100 are in Louisana! North of New Orleans on the North Shore. You gotta try some gumbo while you're here!My sister owns Hidden Oaks Campground in Robert so there's a van to sleep in. It's down by the river. Just the food is worth coming for! IMHO
 
P.S. I almost forgot! MM100 said all the pizza and beer is on him!

I missed out on meeting MM100 tonight as it was The Lovely Lady's birthday and we had plans (wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more).

Me too.  He couldn't get away from work. 

West Monroe Louisiana.... stop in and buy a duck call.

Ed, 
My wife and son's birthday was yesterday 11/5.  Same as your wife's?

Dude!  Your wife, son and Bapu's LL were born on the same day?  Does this story involve an alien abduction?  Are we talking Time Travel, cloning, or spontaneous regeneration?  Is a secretive government agency trying to obscure the truth? 
 
I know they probably told you not to say anything, but it's okay.  You can tell us.  There's no one here but a handful of deranged folks, moderators, the NSA, numerous aliens, doppelgangers, Judge Judy, bakers, and the cast of Glee - the Retirement Home Adaptation.  No one will know.

Try to take in a Quintron and Miss Pussycat show.
 

 

 

 
It's like "cirque" for folks, who live in vans, down by the river.
 
Of course I mean that in a good way.
 
:-)

Why Am I so turned on by Miss Pussycat's photo?
Herb, When I go to Shreveport I'm coming by for a duck call. It's on the way.
 
P.S. whether you want me to or not!
