My 2002 Orlando / New Orleans Vacation. 15 days, 3530 miles.

Well, yes, this trip started out in Orlando. I was in Disneyworld, but more importantly I was taking a photo record of Universal Orlando with my brand new G2. But that's another page.

Now, none of this would normally have any import, but starting someplace in Alabama or Mississippi, I met up the remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard. What fun that was.

Why New Orleans? I wanted to see it before nature claimed it back. Let's face it. The Crescent City is on the Mississippi delta, which every year deposited more and more of the Midwest around it. So every year, New Orleans seemes to sink.

And more to the point, New Orleans had been lucky in that a major hurricane hadn't come their way. Texas and Florida certainly has had their share of major catastrophes, and they weren't below sea level. So in 2005, Katrina didn't surprise me. But I was there before that event.

Oh, and if you ever go there, bring your antacids. You can't get away without eating all sorts of wonderful, tasty, fried foods...
