I finally made it to the gym this morning...it's very small with only 2 treadmills & a stationary bike but since I was the only one in there, I guess it was okay. :)) I worked up a nice sweat and by the time I got back to our room, Kateva was awake. We were supposed to be on the 8:30 bus tour this morning, so she hustled me down to breakfast. I was guessing that the boat was going to be late docking since the water level is so high and we were still moving at...

After a good nights sleep on our comfy beds, we were up in time for room service coffee and juice...I love room service! We got ready for the day and headed down to breakfast--another fabulous buffet. I was going to work out this morning, but oh well! I'd rather eat! LOL We headed out to tour the Oak Alley Plantation, which turned out to be a walking tour. I didn't think Kateva could walk that far, so we got a wheelchair for her to use. We had to cross over a lev...

We woke up early and had to have our suitcases ready for pickup by 7:30 this morning. I walked down to our parking garage and switched out my ticket for a prepaid one without any problems. After a quick walk back to the hotel, I was ready for breakfast. Kateva had snagged a table and we helped ourselves to a wonderful buffet. We had a couple hours to kill before our tour left, so we visited with other travelers while waiting. The buses finally arrived and we b...

Traffic was very heavy coming into the city--lots of activities going on and our hotel is very near the convention center...

5:00 am came very quickly this morning...I think both of us have enjoyed every minute but we're looking forward to sleeping in our own beds. Jeanne has been a wonderful hostess and so sweet to share her living space with us. I forgot to mention that she took us by her school last night and we got to go inside--very cool! Our shuttle was waiting for us when we walked out this morning which was so awesome, since it was quite cold. We only had to pick up one other...
