    November 10th, we fly out for a wedding in New Orleans for our Nephew Ian and a wonderful young women Rachel. We have met her, and she is so charming, beautiful and smart. Ian certainly got a catch. Of course we think Ian is special, but its good he got a great gal.

    We are staying at http://www.chateaubourbonneworleans.com/

    And the wedding is to be held at the hotel. The colors are Champagne and Black.
    The reception is a few blocks from the wedding, walking distance I am told, which is good since we ar not renting a car. http://www.bourbonvieux.com/

    This area is in the French Quarter.

    I did find a nice dress and had a facinator made for it.

      Congratulations to them both Esther, looks like you're all going to have a great time:dbgrtmb:

      Is that like a Terminator? If so, hide your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

        Congratulations redstar :dbgrtmb:. You'll have a great time there. :hapfeet: :cheers:

        I've been to both places and you'll love them. It's a good time of year to spend a few days and I love wandering around the French Quarter and around Jackson Square in the evening - day time there is great as well.

        The Museum of Art and the sculpture garden round the corner from it are worth a visit if you like that sort of thing.

        Have a wonderful time :yahoo:

        Thanks all we were there several years ago, before the mother nature did her deed. Spent a week there, it certainly was interesting.
        Looking forward to some short sight seeing close to where we are staying. Lots of relatives coming in for the wedding.
        Will get you pics upon return.

          Esther, Congrat to you nephew and his wife-to-be.
          Have a great time and don't forget to post some pics.
          The venue looks superb and I now have it on my list of things to do when I next get to that side of the pond.
          Decided not to fly out this Christmas though I know it's tiime for me to visit again. :-)
          I want to spend Christmas in my own home this time.

          Shobhna, when you do come over here. If you do decide to visit New Orleans I may be able to meet you there. Just let me know.
