Hey, if someone was going to be in New Orleans for a weekend in September, and wanted to go somewhere warm and relaxing before or after, does anyone have any suggestions for where that should be?
Atlanta?

Today has sucked balls. To the point where even whiskey isn't going to help. I may have completely fractured my relationship with K-Bug, there was a speaker at the ARP meeting tonight - parent of a 3 year old kid who got lost and was never found, and then CJ and I had cross words plus my foot feels worse. I just want to hide in my room for the next couple of months.

Destin, Florida, is a 4-hour drive from NOLA, and has fantastic white sand beaches.
I haven't been myself, but a former co-worker loved the place and used to travel there all the time for vacation. Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast is pretty nice too: [link]

Atlanta?
This is definitely a contender.
eta: SO is Destin.

I did it backwards -- many years ago a bunch of us went to Destin for vacation and in the middle of the week drove to NOLA for a night. In August. In retrospect, it *could* have been hotter. But only if we were actively engulfed in flames.

What LeN said, Suzi! I hope you and Kbug work things out.
My day was also not optimal. I am dealing with it by first sitting outside with Charlie the Dog in my lap and now Bourbon and planning a trip.
I am now considering renting a car in NO and driving to Atlanta by way of places like Sidell, Biloxi, and Destin. People who know the area, how would that be if I took 5 days or so to get from NO to Atlanta?

Sounds pretty leisurely to me, with potential for good times.
{{Suzi}} Sorry for suboptimal days all around.

Wild! Three OT in the first four games. Reminds me of the great Atlanta/Twins World Series in the early 90s.
