Watching TV
7. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
We’re too tired to go out exploring anymore tonight so we’re just going to stay in our room, relax, and watch some television. We’re not really sure what’s on though. The channels and showWeiterlesen
Good Night, New Orleans!
7. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
One last look at New Orleans before we go to sleep. The view out of the window in our hotel room is very nice. I thought it look good this afternoon but it’s even better at night. Good night!
Good Morning!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
The city of New Orleans looks the same as it did yesterday but things in our room aren’t the same at all. After waking up, we found out that our hotel room had no electricity or running water. WeWeiterlesen
Finding a New Hotel
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 70 °F
We obviously can’t stay in a hotel room with no electricity or water so Kathy began working on finding us another place to stay. We’re very lucky that she works in the travel industry. She’s gotWeiterlesen
Packing Up
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
Kathy found us a room quicker than I expected. There was a football game in the city last night causing nearly all the hotels to be fully booked. I never knew the New Orleans Saints were so popular!Weiterlesen
Everybody Up!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
We’ve got to finish packing up all our stuff and then get to the other hotel so everybody has to get up and help. No more lazing about!
A Brief Breakfast
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
Kathy is having a banana before we get ready to leave the room. I didn’t consider it before but we’re going to have to walk downstairs to the lobby with our luggage.
Going Down
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
And so begins the long journey of walking down ten flights of stairs with all of our luggage. I’m so happy that we always travel light or this could have been much worse.
Repair Crews
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
When we checked out of our room. We were told that we weren’t going to be charged anything because of there being no electricity or water. There’s lots of repair trucks outside the building. AtWeiterlesen
Bye, Hotel Indigo
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
This was a nice hotel, and I’m sorry that we’re leaving, but electricity and water are both necessities that we need. Hopefully we’ll stay here again sometime and things will work out better. IfWeiterlesen
The Ruby Slipper
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
Walking down all those flights of stairs must have worked up an appetite because we were both so hungry. We decided to have breakfast at the Ruby Slipper before going to our new hotel.
Tired but Hungry
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
It felt strange going into a restaurant with all of our luggage but we were too tired and hungry to even care. All we wanted right now was to eat.
Crowded Already
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Here’s a panoramic view of the whole restaurant. I’m surprised it’s this busy so early in the morning. I wonder how many of the people here are from Hotel Indigo and checked out early, like we did.
Time to Eat!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Despite it seeming busy, we were served our food fairly quickly. Everything looks delicious and we’re ready to dig in. We’re so hungry!
Biscuits and Gravy
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
I got the biscuits and gravy, a southern staple that’s impossible to find in New York City. As much as I enjoy this dish, it’s, unfortunately, been categorized as a vacation meal.
Problems
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
After finishing breakfast, we noticed that the problems at Hotel Indigo still weren’t resolved. Now, they have a car blocking a street filled with service vehicles. I wonder how this all started.
On Our Way
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Well, Hotel Indigo isn’t our problem anymore because we’re on our way to our new hotel, the Hampton Inn and Suites. It’s just around the corner from Hotel Indigo so, thankfully, we didn’t haveWeiterlesen
Welcome!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
I was kind of surprised to find the hotel lobby was a bit crowded. I wonder how many of these people have come here from Hotel Indigo, like we did. The staff at the front desk was very efficient andWeiterlesen
Welcome, Kathy!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
I’m seeing more and more hotels doing this now. They leave on the television and it has a greeting with the guests name on it. I think it’s a nice idea and makes the room seem more personal andWeiterlesen
That’s a View?
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
The view we had at Hotel Indigo was much nicer than what we have now at the Hampton Inn and Suites. Well, it’s only going to be here for one day so I guess that we’ll just have to deal with it.
Two Beds?!
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Even worse than our nonexistent view was the fact that this room was furnished with two double beds rather than just one king sized, or even queen, bed. I can’t even remember the last time Kathy andWeiterlesen
Uncle Scrooge?
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
As we left our new hotel, I noticed this design on the sidewalk of the building next door. Are we staying right beside Scrooge McDuck’s money bin? The bin holds 3 cubic acres of cash and thisWeiterlesen
St. Charles Line
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
We’re all done with the hotel, for now, so let’s get out there and explore our last full day in New Orleans! What shall we see first?
Harrah’s
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
The first place we came to as we walked down Canal Street was Harrah’s Casino. We thought it would be a great place to cool down and enjoy the air conditioning. It’s still early in the day butWeiterlesen
Red or Black?
8. November 2022 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Roulette is probably one of the easiest casino games to understand and play. Despite that, I’ve never tried playing it. I’ve thought about it a few times but the minimum bets are usually kind of high.
