    Last minute trips are the best. Stuff your face with beignets, crawfish, and gator tail! 😉

    I go to school in New Orleans so just a couple of my favorite spots: Café du Monde’s beignets, Creole Creamery if you make it to Uptown, shopping on Magazine Street, walking/taking the streetcar along St. Charles to admire the beautiful homes, and Preservation Hall & the Palm Court for some fantastic jazz music (plus there is a 99 year old trumpet player at the Palm Court which is super cute/inspiring!) Enjoy your trip!

    How romantic! Have fun! New Orleans is a really fun city – the humidity is overwhelming – but you can walk around with drinks, which I think makes it worth it!

    WONDERFUL. Spontaneous (unexpected pleasure) trips can be some of the best — especially when with your “favorite man”. 🙂
