Ah, New Orleans. Looks like I'll be going back there for a trade show at the beginning of May and have also managed to tack a few vacation days onto the end of it. Go, Beth, Go! It will be good to relax for a few days and sit at Cafe Du Monde with my friend Stacy and people watch over beignets.

I have mixed feelings about New Orleans -- it's not my favorite city in the world, but much like Vegas its decadence lures you in and doesn't loosen its grip until you step onto the plane and head back towards home. I'd like to see more of it this time around, to see more than just the French Quarter and the convention center. Time for research!
