Hi Swag! I checked out your Jazz Fest site and it is great!!!! You know, the good thing about New Orleans (for most people) is that your hotel is not quite as important as long as the bed and bathroom is clean. You only need room for the "3 or 4" S's . . . S, S, and S . . ;-) I sure don't plan on spending a whole lot of time in the room as New Orleans the city I miss the most. My boyfriend is traveling with me has only been once and then on his own. Nothing is better than hitting Central Grocery, wandering Bourbon Street, Tujaques, drinking a Bloody Mary on the river levy and that sweet, sweet smell of Beignets as you overlook Jackson Square and the Cathedral. And, then there is jazz fest . . . . LOL We are trying to make this as economical as possible and I just check hotwire for car rental. I can't decide which would be best. Can you go in and out of the fair ground on a day pass? If so, we might have a cooler in the car and just make periodic visits that way - but then again . . . . the parking - YIKES! Any suggestions? Would love to hear back from you! Mattie
