The radio is doing a string of songs about New Orleans and it's making it really, really hard for me not to pick up and run off to New Orleans right this second, to sit in seedy bars getting progressively drunker on hurricanes and feeding endless quarters into the jukebox.

only if you promise to cheer me up. I'm feeling stupid and morose and that's why I want to run away.

But some Swm!cuddles in New Orleans might fix that right up.

*cuddles you close*

Aww, I will totally cheer you up. Totally and completely. You just wait and see. We will get tipsy and smoochy and all will be good.

And New Orleans? Has coffee. AU LAIT!

minervacat June 3 2004, 13:23:22 UTC

Coffee AU LAIT! AND beignets, the best dessert-for-breakfast food EVER.

Mmmm. Tipsy and smoochy.

*clings to you*

travelocity.com reports that "several major airlines" are having sales on rt flights from "many cities" to NO from June through October.

Dutifully I followed their price hunt instructions, expecting to find something like the quoted $50-128 prices considering that they fecking listed Indianapolis as one of the included departure points for the sale.

What did I come up with? $230. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. Maybe you'll have better luck from Chicago, though.

If I had vacation time to spare, I'd so be there. Alas, looking at flights that I can't take would only make me sad. Thank you, though. I'm sorry Travelocity lied to you. They lie to me all the time about flights to Toronto. :)

I thought I could manage a weekend, if the flight was cheap enough. Bastidges!

Damn. That sucks. New Orleans is a rockin' town. Everyone should visit.

minervacat June 3 2004, 12:55:57 UTC

Sure! (And bring Orli Orli's puppy with you, okay?)

minervacat June 3 2004, 12:56:56 UTC

gorgeous_ninny June 3 2004, 12:57:39 UTC
