5 day trip to New Orleans

Good afternoon.
I suppose I should finally do a post about our trip to New Orleans.
We got back on Monday, and I've just been busy unpacking and doing other stuff. But here goes........
We left last Wednesday morning, flying out of Vegas with a layover in Denver.  I could not find a decent price or time on a nonstop, so had to do this. It was actually not bad. We had an entire row to ourselves to Denver, and again to New Orleans. Even though it was the same plane all the way, we had to get off in Denver and re-board due to a flight crew change.  :-/
I must say, the section of the Denver airport we were in was unimpressive.
Here's Craig's little travel buddy......

He calls it his good flight charm. And he gets some interesting comments from people.  :-)
So we arrived in new Orleans around 3:30 and got our luggage and a cab to our hotel. We stayed at the Wyndham french Quarter. On Royal St just off Canal. A really nice central location. We even had a view of the river from our 14th floor.

This was a carnival ship heading out. New Orleans also has a cruise terminal and a couple of different cruise lines sail from here.
Of course, no visit to New Orleans would be complete without a visit to the river, the St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square.

I'll post some more pics, hopefully tomorrow.
