We found our hotel which is called Wyndham Garden Hotel. Once we found the hotel we had a hard time finding a place to park so we could check in. After driving around the block several times we found a place to park across the street from the hotel. Hubby ran in and checked us in and got information on parking. There is a designated place to park for the hotel and you park your own car. The cost of parking is $20 a day which is added to your hotel bill. We went into the hotel and wow I loved the interior. All the rooms faced into the middle of the building leaving an opening with a great view.
We took our suitcases up to room #335.
I started unpacking my suitcase while Marlon went back down and parked the car. We were very excited to take off and venture around town. I'm getting hungry since it was around 4:30pm when we left the hotel. Decided to take a trip down Bourbon St. which I have heard so much about. The street had lots of Christmas decorations which make it look so festive. I loved the different forms of transportation. I plan on taking a trip on all of them.
As we moved on down Bourbon St. we saw a automated lift for the police to patrol the area. Its amazing they are getting ready for the New Years Eve Party on Bourbon St.
2 other guys were sitting near us and had bought some beignets. I had never had any of these french doughnuts and the guys told me I should try them. He gave me his bad of goodies and told me to take one. The French doughnut was covered in powdered sugar and wow was it delicious. I drank 2 of the Irish coffee drinks and chatted with the nice people we had met while listening to the jazz music. I thought it was funny how there were so many vendors selling hot-dogs on almost every corner. The carts were shaped like hotdogs LOL.
Its starting to get dark and all the Christmas lights are on and the city is shinning and full of life.
