Travel Lust

[bertine]

Last night and this morning I have been daydreaming of traveling. I am going to Turkey in 11 months but I want to take a shorter trip some place this winter but I don't know where to go. Some place warm and sunny would be nice but I am pretty sure I would be going alone so that might just be weird. Boston is an option but my cousin is usually pretty busy in the winter.

I need to stop fantasizing and get back to work!

Ok, tonight I am going to the bookstore and getting a book on Turkey. Maybe that will help.

You didn't ask if it was warm!

We'll be New Orleans, does that help?

True. I just think I could get frozen lakes at home. :P

New Orleans is fun. I love that city.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Do tell. We've never been there before.

I went before Katrina but it is so pretty. I am not sure how many of the old houses survived but there were beautiful ones. Also, the food was really good.

New Orleans food doesn't really appeal to me. I hope Karri can get some though!

Even beignets?

I have no idea what that is *googles* Urrrr. I dunno, I'm not big on "deep fried dough"...

They are pretty good though I wouldn't eat a lot of them. :)

I don't like donuts at all either. Probably try one of these if someone offered, but it's not really Dinner, you know? (;

I had really good sushi there too but you wouldn't eat that. Plus I had fun at the city park and the museum there. Plus the aquarium was really nice.

Yeah, we've looked at parks and things like that, and architecture, and swamp/plantation tours and things. And I think we're going to have bicycles (:

Ok! What's there other than a big front lawn?

TABASCO SAUCE!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I suggested to Karri that we go there and tell them how wimpy their sauce is, maybe bring some REAL hot sauce....

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL

I bet they have their own verison they use at home. :P
