New Years Plans

In an awesome whirlwind, it turns out that JennB, myself, and 2 other girls are going to be spending New Years Eve in New Orleans. We already have our flights and hotel in the French Quarter. It is going to be an amazing 4 days. When JennB was visiting this weekend we looked a bit more into the trip. Turns out that according to the party website Pub Club, New Orleans is the best place in the world for New Years, above Prague, Sydney, Las Vegas, and Rio. (They actually list New York as the worst place, because of the crowds, the weather, and the clubs ripping people off.)

According to the website...

New Orleans and New Year's Eve go together like rum and red drinks. In fact, it's often difficult to tell New Year's Eve from any other day of the week on Bourbon Street. That is, unless one has been to Bourbon Street on New Year's Eve. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

The real beauty of Bourbon is it's openness. Drinking is permitted in the street – that's the case everywhere in the French Quarter – and there are dozens of places to purchase all manner of alcohol. This includes not only bars but small stores with a counter that serves frozen drinks, jello shots and cheap beer. There's live music everywhere, from jazz to rock to zyedeco.

I am so excited! Can't wait! It is going to be epic.

Thats sounds awesome! I got excited when I first read it and saw "Orleans" and thought you were going to be in Ottawa. Shoot! :)
