NOLA Part 1

OK so my last post was way back on the 16th, but we have been very busy from sun up to sun down and finding the time and energy to make a sensible post has been very hard.


The drive to New Orleans was short and uneventful. Finding the Pontchartrain Landing Resort was also quite easy. Once again we made a wise choice of places to stay. This resort is all brand new since the previous park was wiped out by Katrina. Everything was very clean and well kept. The service was outstanding from the escort to our site all the way to check out. Very friendly staff and a big plus is the free shuttle service to and from the French Quarter several times each day. We generally took the 10 am shuttle into town and returned on the 7 pm shuttle.


By spending the whole day in town we got a chance to see a lot more than if we had not. This also meant that lunch and dinner had to be in restaurants but the food was all worth the added expense. The biggest problem with eating in a different place each meal is that you tend to forget all the names. Every meal was a treat and we enjoyed each. We were told that it is almost impossible to get a bad meal in the French Quarter. If you go there the only real choice you will have to make is how much you want to spend, but don't worry there are lots of reasonable priced meals to be had.


You will note I titled this post NOLA Part 1. Because we saw and did so much there I thought it best to break it down into smaller posts rather than try to cover the whole week in one big long post. I am sure I would leave out some important details if I tried to cover everything at once.


I know some of you look forward to seeing the pictures I post so I just had to include a couple of the Pontchartrain Landing Resort. It is a big job getting all the pictures processed each day but I have managed to keep up. I plan to set up a place where I can post all of them for those of you that want to see. I'll let you all know when it is up and how to get there.
