Watching TV
7 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 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 showLeia mais
Good Night, New Orleans!
7 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 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. WeLeia mais
Finding a New Hotel
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 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 gotLeia mais
Packing Up
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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!Leia mais
Everybody Up!
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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. AtLeia mais
Bye, Hotel Indigo
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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. IfLeia mais
The Ruby Slipper
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 haveLeia mais
Welcome!
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 andLeia mais
Welcome, Kathy!
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 andLeia mais
That’s a View?
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 andLeia mais
Uncle Scrooge?
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 thisLeia mais
St. Charles Line
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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 butLeia mais
Red or Black?
8 de novembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 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.
