That was the one and only time I've visited New Orleans, and I remember thinking there was a lot of grown-up fun to be had there. Yes. Even though I was right, a 7-year-old doesn't have any business thinking such things. Maybe that gulp of my dad's Hurricane was what opened my eyes.

Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, you must absolutely find a way to go next year. The random tidbits I posted cover only the barest fraction of what can be seen and done down there. It's a cocktail geek's dream, and I still think I'm recovering! Seriously, start planning now. It's 6 days of the most concentrated booze knowledge you'll ever encounter.
