Like all New Orleans trips, nothing goes as planned. And like always, it was terrific.
Having lived in two places just blocks away (albeit 25 years ago) and my son lives around the corner, I knew what to expect.
Joel’s place exceeded my expectations.
I thought it was funny that they left breakfast makings and munchies, given the number of great places to eat within walking distance. I was more than grateful the next morning when an unexpected rainstorm dumped more than five inches, overwhelming the city’s pumping system. But in a few hours, the streets were clear.
When Hurricane Barry threatened, they brought by gallons and gallons of wanted and ensured I had everything I might need in case it actually hit. (It didn’t)
Because the rain and hurricane canceled the business part of my trip, I’ll be returning to NOLA in several weeks.
If JT’s hideaway is available, I’ll book it.
