New Orleans or Bust

and_chocolateIt was almost the latter....
The rental car company assured me that they opened at five a.m. and could get me to my six a.m. flight no problem. They lied. They didn't even open up until 5:15 this morning, and then by 5:30 it was too late for United to get my checked luggage on my flight, so I had to rebook to the seven a.m. flight, which got me into New Orleans 2-1/2 hours later than my original plan.
On the plus side, I'm in New Orleans!
I'm sitting in the hotel room, smoking a cigarette and trying to figure out what to do for dinner and where to catch part of the Bacchus parade. The end of the parade route is about a block from me, but not visible from my window, so I'll have to go downstairs. I've also got a flask of rum, courtesy of my con roommates, so I'm pretty much set with drink and lung cancer and everything!
Oh, and on the connection from Denver to New Orleans? I finished Stop, Rewind, (re)Play! Woo hoo! Now to send it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2004-02-22 10:14 pm (UTC)I'm already having great adventures. I wore my new black cleavage shirt, which may have been lost on him in the dark and the crowd, but I felt sexy in it, so that's all good. I feel so...Moulin Rouge, wandering around in the decadent city with a clove cigarette in one purple-fingernailed hand, wearing sexy clothing and with my hair and makeup punked. All I need now is a lovely glass of absinthe. *g* I may never go home!
