It was great seeing you too! Safe travels home.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
It was great finally getting to meet you, Shir. Thanks for that lovely post.
It was wonderful getting to meet you Shir. It retrospect I think I dragged you to see too many sights and did not leave enough time for conversation.
So the BFF and her wife and I are thinking of New Orleans for Thanksgiving. Can any of our folk there recommend neighborhoods/locations to stay, or stay away from? We are thinking airbnb, and I was thinking something on the streetcar. No particular plans, though BFF loves architecture tours, and mostly we would probably eat a lot. ;)
I don't know if you've heard about beignets...
I'd recommend a B&B on Prytania Street in the Lower Garden District or on Elysian Fields in the Marigny.
Heh, airbnb. It's all controversial down here right now, regular B&Bs and hotels are pissed. Plus, technically it's illegal.
Is it? I'm trying it out for the first time in Paris.
It is in New Orleans (or in specific neighborhoods in New Orleans), it probably isn't in other places. New Orleans prohibits short term leasing (I think less than 60 days?) [link]
There have been a few legal challenges to airbnb in New York, too. I'm not sure what the current status is.

It's in a legal grey area pretty much everywhere.
