New Orleans

AHHH New Orleans! Such a great fun experience to discover places you never thought you’d visit. Although we were only here for one day, I got the sense of this fun town.

My cousin and I decided to go on a family trip. I flew to San Antonio Texas to meet him and my aunt. We started our journey from there at about 5am.

New Orleans, French Quarter

We took turns driving from Texas to New Orleans. It took us about  7 hours to get there. When we got there, we walked around the famous Bourbon street looking at the shops and restaurants. This street is in the heart of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter. This street is known for it’s party life with lots of bars and stripclubs. I was there on a family trip so we will save that blog post for next time. Ha ha! We had a dinner cruise scheduled at 7pm so we had some time to explore.

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage.

During our walk explorations, we encountered weird looking people dressed like this pic above. I believe it’s a drag queen? Haha I am not sure but I thought the dress was creative. I wondered if she or he made it.

The Cruise

As soon as we got to the cruise, we ordered nice cold margaritas. We had to wait like 30 minutes for dinner to be ready so why not get a small buzz beforehand. lol The margaritas were good but kinda pricey. I believe it was about $15 for one.

The cruise was amazing. We enjoyed our food as we listened to the live Jazz musicians play. New Orleans food has a lof soul into it. I ate beans, bread, and mashed potatoes. The food on the boat wasn’t that great. It was a buffet style. I might have not been happy with the vegetarian options as they were mostly meat meals. According to my aunt and my cousin, the meat wasn’t that good. However, the view from the boat was amazing.

Road Trip Continues…

Overall I felt like I got an idea of the lifestyle of New Orleans. After our cruise we continued our journey towards Orlando Florida, where we had our Airbnb house for the week. We stopped in Pensacola Florida to rest, this is the first closest city in Florida. We then continued our drive towards Orlando in the morning. I loved when our navigation said we reached a new state. Haha Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama were pretty fast to drive through. Head over to my Miami Florida blogpost and read all about my time in Miami.
