I’ve never been during Mardi gra, but it was still a crazy place on bourbon street when we went-
Very unique experience-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

I believe Mardi Gras parades for the most part have been cancelled, as has most mass gatherings. I expect the rules won’t be followed very closely in New Orleans.

Mardi Gras is one day, Tue 02/16/2021 Carmival is the parade season, and that started 01/06/2021. There will not be any parades this year..
If you have to get from New Orleans to Alvarado you won't have enough time to look around the city.

That’s 14-15 hours of car time without any delays, which would be a miracle on I-10. You gonna do anything on this trip or just drive nonstop?

Lock all your tools up in NO, its a cesspool of thieves. But the food is awesome, and lots of history.

Go Pat O'Briens and have a Hurricane. Don't drink more than 2 and only if you are staying the night.

Commander's Palace for dinner. Just stroll on in and when they ask about a reservation just say you are a TFF celebrity.

Dirty For me, one of those places that you go to at least once to say that you've been there.
