Two weeks out of New Orleans - recommendations?
Flying into New Orleans in November, renting a car for two weeks to
tour the deep south. Any itinerary recommendations? (I use Rick Steves' guidebooks in Europe, sure is a lot harder to put it together yourself!) |

(I use Rick Steves' guidebooks in Europe, sure is a lot harder to put it together yourself!) IN the US Moon Handbooks are very good. I recommend, if it is not too far for you, that you get to Savannah, GA. It IS a bit of a drive, but very interesting, lots of history, very southern. -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

Two weeks out of New Orleans - recommendations?
Flying into New Orleans in November, renting a car for two weeks to
tour the deep south. Any itinerary recommendations? A weekend in Cajun country (3 hours west of New Orleans; the center of which is Lafayette; the more character-ful places being further afield from Lafayette, like Eunice) is a very unique experience in the American cultural landscape. The Saturday morning cajun stomp at Fred's in Mamou, the hot boudin at Mel's Quick Stop on the road to Eunice, the Saturday cajun jam at the Savoy Music Center in Eunice--you can put together a really sweet-sounding and FLAVORFUL tour in cajun country that you will never forget. I do think weekends are best, though. I think searching online for cajun country links might be your best bet, but there is an incredibly comprehensive guide to the area in the bookstores, though I forget the name. |

Two weeks out of New Orleans - recommendations?
Flying into New Orleans in November, renting a
car for two weeks to tour the deep south. Have you been to New Orleans previously? If not, but sure to spend at least a day or two seeing the city. Also there are some plantations near New Orleans that you can tour, such as Oak Alley.

Two weeks out of New Orleans - recommendations?
On top of the recommendation to spend a couple of days (3 works better-2 in the French Quarter in cluding the Cabildo on Jackson Square and the cemeteries and of course beignets and cafe au lait across from the Square,1 University/Uptown/Garden District) ,1 day to see Oak Alley and "San Francisco" plantations and then 3 days in Cajun Country (Lafayette,Opelousas,New Iberia) and then on to Natchez,MS;be sure to visit Longwood. I've lived all over the world and now am in N.O. and consider it America's most interesting city |
