I belong in N'awlins!

I just returned yesterday from my trip to New Orleans for the National Honors Conference and I had the time of my life. I've decided that I simply belong in that city and I can't wait to go back. We stayed in the French Quarter on Toulousse and it was absolutely amazing. Laura and I even had a balcony where we could go out and watch everything go by on Dauphine. The best part was that we were a block away from Bourbon Street, which has to be the greatest place ever. Perfect for a party girl like me anyway. Needless to say we spent 3 inebriated nights there, gracing not only the bars but also the strip club. We even befriended a couple of strippers (here's to you Will and Shawn). On Thursday we rode the streetcars and saw the Garden District, complete with Queen Latifah shooting a movie. On Friday we got the opportunity to party at Mardi Gras world where they make the floats and store the old ones. Saturday I decided to drink too much and get sick so it was an early night for me, which I'm still kicking myself for but it can't be helped. Needless to say, I absolutely loved it there but I also missed all of my friends and my family. So my solution: they all have to come live there with me! But that's all I'm going to say for now, no more details because as Dr. G says "What happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans"...
