Well, each of the restaurants Heather listed had websites. These internets are gettin real popular. Links added.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Phew! Refresh again. All the links are in. Now I just need to search on any details about the hospitality suite and prom stuff.
(This is excellent for avoiding work)

I copied and pasted some prom and hospitality suite info, but I need a Kristin and ND review please as it seems confusing.

No need to provide links to past conversations. Even if I didn't remember, I would have believed you. As to the Commander's Palace reservation, I haven't adjusted it yet, since so many people wanted to join, I thought I'd wait until closer in to get a final tally.

Thanks Vortex. I had to search back to remember the name of the restaurant, so I figured I might as well put the links in while I was at it.

Laura, the page rocks.
A couple of things--there's a mistake in my text toward the bottom that talks about "free finger foods" (I had corrected that in a later post--we will be paying for the appetizers up front, but they are not techincally free). You could probably just cut that part.
Also, there's shuttle that goes directly from the airport to the hotel for something like...$25 round trip, and it's evidently by far the cheapest way to get in. Is that on there? I think I may be blind, so apologies if so.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it's the same shuttle I took in January, it's $13 per person each way. (The taxis charge $28 for 1 or 2 people, and an extra $12 per person after that, so after tipping it works out more or less even with the shuttle.)

Changes made.
Wow! So many places to go and things to do. Both times I was there I didn't really do much in the way of touristy stuff. The first time I did a marathon, so walking much was pretty much out of the question, then I went on business and didn't get to play.
I'll probably seek tiny group meals. On my must list is a good cemetery tour. DH always enjoys playing pool while I prefer bowling. The GF that plans on joining us loves to shop. I may seek a roomie for her; I'll check.

On my must list is a good cemetery tour.
I can give tips on this.
This is the local New Orleans cemetary preservation group.
Here are the tours for the two cemetaries I've visited: Lafayette and St. Louis.
St. Louis is older, right at the top of the quarter. It has some famous people in it (Marie Laveau, Paul Morphy), but while it's historically interesting, Lafayette is way more visually interesting and cooler to visit. The tombs are more varied in Lafayette. It really is like a City of the Dead, with streets laid out under shady trees. It's gorgeous and fascinating and right across the street from Commander's Palace.
