For sure I am not going to include all of the photos one might expect from a post of New Orleans. But, be assured that you will learn a little from me about the beautiful city. I was raised there and lived there for 17 years. As an adult, I often went to visit my parents during the holidays. My siblings and I lived out of state so, it was important for me to visit because I didn't want them to be lonely. During our visits we stay at the Hampton Inn Suites on St. Charles Ave. The hotel was just recently remodeled and it suits our family just fine. Courteous personnel, clean rooms, beautiful lobby, decent breakfast foods, always hot coffee or tea available. Maps for the route to all of your adventures are readily available to you at the front desk. Traveling for us is by car but you can also get a pass to ride the streetcar which picks you up right outside the hotel on the streetcar median. Lush, full, decadent Oak trees, and majestic emerald leaved Magnolias trees
