To not be misleading, the Cajun Pride Swamp Tour is actually based out of Laplace, LA, about 20 minutes west of New Orleans, but since most of you will probably visit New Orleans and then look for things to do in the area I'll post my review in this existing spot. (I'll be cross posting it in Laplac…

I guess the best way to describe Bourbon Street in New Orleans is to say “Party!”. This several block long street is home to more bars, pubs, souvenir shops, sex clubs and eateries and is most famous for being the party capital of New Orleans. As the evening gets going the bands start playing …

Every city large or small everywhere has at least one cemetery. On our trip across the country we tried to stay off freeways as much as possible and because of that we saw cemeteries in each state. Especially in the south-eastern part of the country we found them next door to the local churches. …

This was the first tour I did when I arrived in New Orleans, I got picked up by a taxi outside my hotel and brought to the Bayou. We had a small boat (which I like, I don't like the very big noisy airconditioned touristy boats) and we set off. Now the captain had it in for me fom the start ever sinc…

It has been over two years since Katrina and little has changed, the hope of the residents is slowly fading. The only thing getting higher in New Orleans is the cost of living and rent.

On a hot/humid day in New Orleans I recommend going to the Aquarium of the Americas. It's located at the Mississippi Waterfront, right where the ferry landing is. The IMAX theater is located in the same building and there are great deals if you want to visit both.
Tickets are $17.50 per adult. It'…

Magazine Metals has some really cool jewelry made of recycled materials, although some pieces are made with new resources. If you’re looking for something a little different that you can’t find in mass production, this a great place to look. The prices are a little high so you may only leave w…
