MORNING IN NOLA

We had a very early start to our day yesterday.  We crossed the border into Blaine at 5:00 a.m. and after a gruelling day of travel....we have arrived at our destination.  Planes and connections were on time but we didn't arrived in New Orleans until 10:30 last night....8:30 BC time.  Still tiring and since there was no where close to wander and it was dark...time to sleep and get ready for the day tomorrow.

So I poked my head out from behind the blackout curtain this morning...and here I have posted my first images of New Orleans. 

Today our plan is to eat breakfast and then make our way to the ship.  Not sure what time we can board, but checkout here is 11:00 and so we may have some wait time at the pier.  At least it is daylight - so there may actually be something to see. 

Weather is overcast and I think a bit cooler than we were prepared for.  But soon we will be warm and toasty.  76 degrees and cloudy with expected showers is the current forecast for the area. 

Our look at New Orleans for today will be brief and only from a taxi window or from the cruise ship.  However when we return, I know there will be lots to see and do here. 

Talk to you again soon, meanwhile have a great St. Patrick's Day! AND...clearly it is time to start planning what you are boiling for lent!

Ciao for niao!
