Did you know that Southwest had senior prices? I didn't, until I paid $60 each, o ne way to New Orleans. Pretty terrific, yes? And the flight was easy, even from LAX. We arrived before 8:30, checked into our hotel (the Monteleone) and were given a room on the 10th floor - and someone had smoked in it - so we headed down with the porter to change rooms. We were apologetic about it - but the desk staff was even more so! They gave us an upgrade to the rooftop and two drink vouchers. Wow. The room had a balcony and a lovely view! We then walked to the Bourbon House, a lovely restaurant with over 200 bourbons - so we had to try a drink. I then had (don't judge me - New Orleans is a diet-free zone) crab cakes and shrimp gumbo. Joey had a half chicken with dirty risotto. Everything tasted wonderful, and if we didn't want to try other restaurants in town we would be back tomorrow. We thought we might check out the Carrousel Bar in our hotel but being a Saturday night it was packed and noisy. Not our scene. Anymore. So we went up to our room and didn't unpack. Watched the last 10 minutes of SNL.
