new orleans packing list

Today is the day, y’all. This morning, I’m hopping on a plane to New Orleans for a fun getaway with some close high school friends! The very first thing I plan to do is head straight for Cafe Du Monde. It’s been over four years (not that I’ve been counting…) since I’ve had their famous beignets and chicory coffee, and I can’t wait to get my finally fill!

We’ve planned out a weekend of eating, sight-seeing, and my personal favorite, the Haunted History tour. I went as a senior in high school and still remember some of the scary stories and sights we saw. So fun! I definitely recommend if you’re headed to the city soon.

After thinking through my packing list last night (thanks to the help of quite a few group texts with the girls to ensure we are all on the same page) I decided to round up a variation of what I’ll be wearing into the city for sightseeing today! Below, you’ll find the navy version of the cargo jacket I wore earlier this week. I’ll definitely be keeping comfy in converse sneakers, and wouldn’t be caught dead without a portable phone charger! Too many pictures to take, am I right? (I’m grimacing as I reread that last sentence.)

  10. I went to college and grad school in NOLA and it holds a very special place in my heart! I go back at least once a year and it never disappoints! Enjoy, try some of the restaurants uptown to get away from the touristy FQ! Also it’s Carnevale so you should definitely check out some parades this weekend! Enjoy!

    I think journeying with pals, own family, and cherished ones can be terrific, but the blessings of social tour are very different from the blessings of touring by myself. With the right mind-set, you’ll see how traveling alone is not simplest an first rate lifestyles enjoy- it’s regularly a essential lifestyles enjoy. Your work is superb.Turkey Vacation Packages

    A trip to that magical place is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You’ll bring home amazing stories if you’re open to them, but if you want to bring home amazing photographs, it takes a little more than just bringing a camera with you.port blair to havelock ferry

    Travelling is very useful for us especially for the learners. It provides us not with bookish knowledge but with practical experience. It gives us an opportunity to meet our friends and relatives living in far-off places where we generally serve writing letters to them. Travelling also exposes us to different cultures and helps us learn about the customs of other people.Destination Ecuador
