Yes I’ve missed most of Mardi Gras but I’ll there there in time for Fat Tuesday! Staying with a friend who’s a couple of blocks away from the madness of Bourbon st. I’ll be there for 2 weeks and I’m looking forward to it

Years ago my husband and I went to New Orleans the weekend after Fat Tuesday. We had the place to ourselves. It was wonderful!
Enjoy your trip!

Hope you had fun! We took our kids and were there Friday and left yesterday. You missed the shooting during Bacchus.  So scary. |

Spent Mardi Gras in Lafayette, where mostly it remains sane during the parades and the festival. Had a great time! We stay away from New Orleans, since the mid nineties when a parade goer standing next to me dropped dead from a bullet that shot into the air came down and killed her. Too much crime and trouble with safe parking, hotels, et. For me anymore so the family meets and grabs a spot along the parade route in Lafayette when we BBQ burger and hot dogs and catch the three parades on Tuesday.
