Hello from wireless at a restaurant in Jamaica.
Our first day of the trio was the normal routine. After staying up until 3 am doing something we probably shouldn't have waited until the last minute to do, like packing, we woke up at the crack of dawn to make it to our 815 flight. Things ran relatively smoothly for the first leg of the flight. Almost left Mia behind because she was buying breakfast, but other than that I think we were all out for the flight.
We had a short layover in Las Vegas, where we had a short and unnecessary panic about whether we had to go through security a second time. In that hour, we got pretzel dogs, won a couple of dollars on the slots, and watched as James and Mia started an epic argument about whether it is better to eat small or large meals...that is still going on.
The second leg of the trip also went smoothly. James fell asleep after arguing. Mia slept. I read. The flight to New Orleans was actually pretty fast.
We got to New Orleans and after fighting to get our bags had to weave around to find the shuttle to the Enterprise. We got our car and drove into town to check into our hotel.
Our first hotel was a cute little hotel in the French Quarter. Its apparently like a block away from Bourbon Street. Anyway, we were famished by the time we got in, so we set off to find some food. The first place we found turned out to be super dive bar-y. Then, we actually ended up in Bourbon Street where James and Mia were both traumatized. Eventually, we made our way to Decatur St where we just ate at Bubba Gumps.
After dinner, we made our first trip to Cafe du Mode, where we enjoyed beignets and Mia spilled cafe au lait everywhere. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and eventually went to sleep.
