      OK shoots, today was mellow, we woke up around 9AM (that's about 5 hrs of sleep and the most we got in one night since we left O'ahu).

      I was somewhat hungover from the two and a half fishbowls of beer I drank so all I had for breakfast was coffee.

      We took a streetcar out to the "Garden District" where in the 1800's wealthy Americans built their homes on large lots with mostly Victorian architectures. We walked a self guided tour with a "Frommers New Orleans" book.

      There were some really nice homes and stories behind each of them. One a Civil War Coronel, one a Tobacco grower, Anne Rice featured homes, haunted homes, and the highlight of our day was the New Orleans Cemetary No. 1 (the oldest one).

      Thats about it. We didn't rent a car so we used the streetcars today. The streetcars were packed like sardines with N.O. locals and tourists from Hawaii and Georgia alike.

      To say the least, it was interesting to have the roles reversed and finally "be the tourist" in the packed trolley.

      So were back in our hotel room for a few hours. Plans for tonight are Emirils (Yes, I made reservations a month ago and back then there were only two tables left at 6 or 6:30)

      I finally got the picture problem solved I bought a USB port thinga-ma-jiggy here's a sample of what we seen so far...

      GO WARRIORS!!

                I am trying a little YouTube experiment. See if the quality from my digi cam is any good. My laptop has no sound. Can you guys hear this or is it a silent movie?

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQ4IlkPZq8

                If its not too bad quality then I will get some more tonight or at least try to..

                      I finally sold my 4 extra tickets to an LSU fan who drove down from Slidell to watch the game. He is hoping Hawaii demolishes Georgia.

                      $250 for all four, we paid $800 for them three weeks ago.

                      Check out craigslist, there are lots of people stuck with extra tickets, I seen one guy with 20 tickets still for sale!

                      Off to PAR-TY ALOHA !!!

                            We ended the day yesterday with a cemetery tour.



                            Then after a brief interlude back at the hotel we got ready for the evening.

                            There are great stories about what happened last night on the Advertiser.com and other news sites I am sure..

                            Last night I took the wife to Emirils where we got a table with a wine sampler package in front of our chef who cooked us a five course meal that was matched with the wines.

                            Neither of us had ever dined like this ever before in our lives.



                            Forget about the fact I have bought entire vehicles cheaper than our bill was last night but it was so worth it. I think we started a new New Years Tradition.

                            We walked out of Emirils and headed down to the Willie K party at the Sugar Mill but never made it. On the way there, we began talking with a few locals who invited us to have a drink at Richies bar in Harrahs Hotel. We tried to decline but they insisted. They wanted to talk to us about Hawaii and they shared with us their true creole heritage.

                            2 B cont.... (time for breakfast)
