It's almost that time of year again and I am antsy! Here are two questions for y'all:

1. What are your plans?(if you have a spring break)

2. If not, help me plan mine! I've got four days to play and then I need to work on my thesis. I live in Dallas amd I'll be driving to my destination with my sister. The choices right now are Memphis or New Orleans. I've never visited either city. Suggestions? Which would be better? What is there to do? I've googled both, but I'm not getting much.

I hear Idaho is nice this time of year.

*sniff* I'm not invited?

Fortunately, I've already had the opportunity to check Idaho off my list of places to visit before I die. [Smile]

Ni!

New Oleans is nuts! I visited there during my Air Traffic Control training in Mississippi. I don't ever want to go back, the place scared my morals straight.

What made it so bad?

We're going to New Jersey! [Big Grin]

Well, I was there with a bunch of other new Airmen just out of Basic Training. Needless to say, three months without the world will make a wordly person go nuts. I went along to see what N'orlins was about (I was thinking parades and crawfish). When we got there, all the guys I was with went straight to the bars and left me hanging. They were my only way back to the base so I had to put up with it all night long.

That said, it might be better on Spring Break. They might clean-house when they are going to be the center of the universe for all the college people.

*nods* That will probably happen. I know Florida does.

Nelle, I'm afraid I pouted prematurely. I think that's when my dad is coming.

I'm going to alabama

New Orleans is fun to visit. When's your spring break, exactly?

Oh, and it's definitely a lot better than visiting during Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is all full of drunk tourists who act like complete fools because they don't live there.

I'm spending part of mine in New York City...hooray, music business.

I'm going camping with hobbes & his family. I'm way excited, especially to cook things on a fire. [Big Grin]

I was going to drive down and visit the University of OK with my boyfriend (My mother's idea, of all people) But they're on Spring Break the same time we are, so I'll probably just stay here.

New Orleans = French Quarter.

Memphis = Beale Street and The Peabody. The Peabody site has a list of Memphis attractions.
