Christina & Damon

Our hotel is in the Garden District and a trolley stops right in front every 15 minutes or so. We will be using this fun mode of transporation to travel around the city.

We will enjoy a nightime tour through the French Quarter as we meet ghosts and visit haunted sites in one of the top 10 most haunted cities in the U.S

First a trip to Cafe Du Monde where we will plan our book quided walking tour of the city over beignets and cafe au lait. We will visit the historic area of the French Quarter and later meet a group for a free tour of the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetary. Needing a lunchtime snack by this time we will grab a sandwich from a local sandwich shop and go to the beautiful City Park to have a picnic and enjoy a stroll around the 1300 acres of gardens, architechtural structures and many bridges.

On one of our nightly strolls through the French Quarter we might have a desire to see what the future holds and have our cards read by a local psychic.

We will enjoy a day trip to several of the surronding historical antebellum planation homes such as Oak Alley,  Destrahan and Ormond.

We will enjoy a nice dinner aboard a paddlewheel riverboat on the majestic Mississippi. A jazz band will play as we enjoy after dinner drinks while the sun sets over the river.

Your gift will allow us entrance for two to the Audubon Zoo and Aquarium. We will also pack a picnic to enjoy in Audubon Park an urban oasis in Uptown New Orleans, stretching from St. Charles Avenue to the Mississippi River.

Jersey Boys - National Tour is showing at the Mahalia Jackson theater during our stay in New Orleans. Of course we always love a night at the theater and your gift will allow tickets for two to enjoy this touring international sensation.

We will have memories to cherish for years to come. We can view the majesty of our magical breath-taking destination from above, on a first class helicopter tour.

Christina is such a thrill seeker, no roller coasters in New Orleans so she will have settle for the next best thing a airboat skimming over land and water. We might even get to pet a baby alligator.

With your wonderful gift we'll spend a evening in the historic Treme neighborhood, the birthplace of Jazz.  We will enjoy live music, dancing and whatever the night holds for us. 

We'll stop in several of the bars in the French Quarter, as well as the famous Pat O'briens on Bourban Street.  Cheers!

My mother generously gave us a wedding gift of a week in a New Orleans time share. We plan to stay a few days longer and are going to check into a local hotel we found on our last trip to the Big Easy. Our room has its own balcony that looks over St Charles Avenue where we can watch all the neighborhood going-ons as we enjoy our morning coffee and crossaints

Breakfast or midnight snack, no trip to New Orleans would be complete without a visit to the Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. 

It's casual, fun and perfect for an afternoon lunch. With so many restaurants in town, we'll choose the most perfect, casual restaurant where we'll take delight in a traditional muffuletta or a hot bowl of gumbo.

We look forward to reserving an intimate dinner at Commanders Palace, just a short walk from our hotel in the beautiful Garden District.  There we will enjoy a nice meal, drinks and maybe a made to order bread pudding or tantalizing creme brulee'.  Bon Appetit!

Unfortunately there are not too many places in New Orleans where you can park for free. Your gift will help us have a secure and safe place for our vehicle to spend the week as we won't be using it much.

We'll need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!

Spoil him with lubricants and moisturizers that take him to a new level of shaving. After the hot towels are applied to soften his skin, a close shave leaves him smooth, healthy and looking good.

The nails have to look good to show off my beautiful wedding ring.
