| My 2002 Orlando / New Orleans Vacation. 15 days, 3530 miles. |
Well, yes, this trip started out in Orlando. I was in
Disneyworld,
but more importantly I was taking a photo
record of
Universal Orlando
with my brand new G2. But that's another page.
Now, none of this would normally have any import, but
starting someplace in Alabama or Mississippi, I met up
the remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard. What fun
that was.
Why New Orleans? I wanted to see it before nature claimed
it back. Let's face it. The Crescent City is on the Mississippi
delta, which every year deposited more and more of the Midwest
around it. So every year, New Orleans seemes to sink.
And more to the point, New Orleans had been lucky in that
a major hurricane hadn't come their way. Texas and Florida
certainly has had their share of major catastrophes, and they
weren't below sea level. So in 2005, Katrina didn't surprise
me. But I was there before that event.
Oh, and if you ever go there, bring your antacids. You can't
get away without eating all sorts of wonderful, tasty, fried foods...
