Woohoooo! In a few days, I will be off on a trip with Hiker to New Orleans!! I can't wait!

We plan to do some sightseeing, some geocaching, some shopping, some eating and lots of lovin'!!!!! :-D This is partially a work-related trip for him, but he'd asked me to come along. And he added an extra 2 days to the trip for us to have some fun of our own apart from his work stuff. It's going to be fun!

It'll also be interesting to see if anything is completely different from what I saw of New Orleans years ago- waaaay before Katrina ever hit. What's funny is- New Orleans was where my ex and I went on our makeshift honeymoon. lol But seriously... I'm really curious to what the place around the Quarter and Jackson Square looks like now- and if Katrina did anything so lasting that they can't fix it.

~shrimpy, totally excited

Sounds awesome Shrimpy! You both need some time to yourselves and you need to get away too! I hope you have a wonderful trip and that you get all of the lovin' you can! :)

Yeah - have lots of fun and come back with stories!! I have been to NO many times - but all before Katrina - so it will be interesting to hear what you say about that too.

Thanks everyone!!!

I know we will have a great time. Even if we end up getting rained on! Today I'm trying to get laundry done so I can pack. I can't wait!!!

Crazy huh? That Hiker and I met on match.com about 2 years ago!! OLD isn't all bad- sometimes it can bring Treasures! :-)
