Sitting at Logan waiting for my flight to Atlanta-New Orleans. Alas, WiFi access isn't free so this update is probably late.
Snow was too heavy last night so we didn't go to Ceremony. Fortunately, it had stopped snowing in the morning so no problems at the airport (or getting there).
Really looking forward to NOLA now. Weather forecast is OK, not too warm but not too rainy, either, at least not until later in the week.
17:45
Arrived safely and on time in Atlanta after a quiet flight. The connection flight to NOLA leaves at only two gates down the line, in about 45 minutes.
Hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
robinbloke! I just bought a ... Marathon bar (like Snickers but with extra stuff).
19:00 (local time)
Arrived in New Orleans. Took the Airport Shuttle (25 return compared to 28 for a single taxi fare) and as my place was on the end of the route, I got a free tour of parts of the French Quarter, too.
Have a basic little room which could do with some decoration/refurbishing but I don't need more than a bed and a bathroom as I will spend most of my time out and about.
Had dinner (fried redfish) at a random bar/restaurant, called Garlic Glove on St. Charles Ave, unpacked some bits, had a shower and will now go to sleep.
Plans for tomorrow include the French Quarter, maybe a river cruise and a music club or two in Frenchmen St. in the evening. I realise now I should have printed some stuff as I can't get online currently but I'll find some netcafe tomorrow, I hope.
Other things on my list: Garden District, a cemetery or two, Algier's Point, Voodoo Museum etc.
I'm not really planning but take it as it comes along.
