Awww... I went to New Orleans once (the day
after Mardi Gras ended) for a convention. I couldn't afford to go a day early.

But listening to the Nawlins people I know who treasure Mardi Gras and just reading these comments makes my heart glow with that great NO feeling. *le sigh*
My husband and I have already decided to try to go back to New Orleans together for a holiday one year. Maybe a private Cajun Christmas.
