Yes, I went to New Orleans the weekend of the Super Bowl and gave the city and the team my blessings to win the Super Bowl and defeat the Colts in order to get revenge on the Colts for beating my Chicago Bears a couple of years ago.

Some may say that I jumped on the bandwagon, but I've told everyone that I know that the Saints are my #3 team, so I'm happy that they won. I really love the city of New Orleans and have mostly positive times down there, including this past weekend. 

Friday night we drove in and partied on Bourbon Street until about 5 AM. The next day we had a very nice lunch and took in several Mardi Gras parades. I hit the hay early and we all came back Sunday afternoon in time to watch the Super Bowl. Most of us had to work this morning, so that's why we didn't stay there to watch it and party some more after the victory.

I am going back for Lundi Gras and actual Mardi Gras. So far it's just me and my friend Jody, but we are willing to let at least 2 more people come with us. We'll be staying at the same hotel that I stayed at this time, which is the Hotel Intercontinental on St. Charles Ave., which is right on the Uptown Parade Route.
