Sounds like a great trip. WIsh I could have gone there, but the anniversary conventions now conflict with my daughter's new school holiday schedule. We went on a cruise around the same time. I am interested in Sweden and Australia, but will probably have the same problem.

On plus side, I too will be in New Orleans the week after next on a business trip. Cafe AU Lait and beignets definitely on the list. Hurricanes, too (the drink). :-)
