I’m planning on going back for Mardi Gras 07, since it falls exactly on my birthday. It’s a pretty awesome time to have a duel celebration.

When I went back in April, restaurants seemed to be staying open a bit later… with any luck, things will be even better this year. Baby steps, ya know?

lol- my birthday was Mardi Gras this year (Feb 27)- and that was part of the reason for my trip as well!

one other thing i forgot was the hotels- there was not one open room within a 50 mile radius! we eneded up staying at a friend’s grandparent’s house in Covington (30 miles north)

it should be a lot better next year; i may be headed back as well. :o)
