Picked Jan and Mike up at the airport last night. Those two crack me up. They are SO happy to be here. Can't wait to have the rest of the gang here!

Between the talks of coffee and beignets and hurricanes (the beverage variety) this is almost as painful as reading a trip report ... I am green with envy.

Drove Jan and Mike around town just to show them the city outside of the French Quarter.

Lunch at Cooter Brown's where Mike had an Alligator Sausage PoBoy and an Abita Amber; Jan had a loaded hot dog and a regular beer. Mike is the daring one when it comes to food. Wondering if Jan will suck the heads and pinch the tails Saturday night when we go for boiled crawfish :lol:

Margo and Rick and Christine are all in the air now and Kellee is on the road with strict instructions from Brad NOT to speed :lol:

More reports to come.

We hit Bourbon Street last night with the gang: nothinto lose, cat and her man Kenneth, Jan&MikeVA, Kellyana, CAgirl, RickG and NoTanLines. We ended up hanging out at an absinthe bar where Kellyana was seeking her inner green ferry. It was a rather late night.

We're off to Cafe du Monde for breakfast and then Jazz Fest.

Cheers RickG
