Skyrose7 0 #1 March 10, 2002 OH MAN, I just got back from my spring break in NEw Orleans, what a hoot!! I had the best vacation ever. It wasn't even Mardi Gras, and there was still a party in the street every night! I had a hotel right in the middle of everything, and it was amazing. Anyone here from New ORleans, I want to complement you on your amazing culture. I guess being from good 'ol Grand Rapids, MI leaves me feeling sheltered. From this trip, I decided I am moving south after graduation, for sure. I am pretty sure I want to live in Texas, you guys rock! I met the most awesome people from Texas. So, I guess I am still in shock from going on the best vacation ever (and I didn't even get to skydive :( ) . Anyone else go on vacation?MaryThe mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #3 March 11, 2002 Yeah New Orleans rocks. Great food, great music, great architecture.I spent two days just walking around with my camera.And yeah, I'm a midwest to Texas transplant myself. May I recommend Houston? "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseburger 0 #4 March 11, 2002 All I remember from new orleans is lying on the side of the street with my friends laughing at me after drinking my second hand-grenade (try a couple, you'll like them) Oh and a really cool dance club called the dungeon which only opened after midnight...cool city Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrose7 0 #5 March 11, 2002 yah, actually, I was wondering which city in texas would be good. I probably outta do a bit of looking into this, but I am pretty sure that is where I want to be. oh, I can't wait for graduation--only one more semester....The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open.

Skyrose7 0 #6 March 11, 2002 that would have been nice to have such a short drive....,mine was 20 hrs on the way there. We hit a snow storm on the way out of mich.. actually it was just lake effect snow--it was scary. The only way my trip would have been better was if I could have jumped, but it still rocked.

Skyrose7 0 #7 March 11, 2002 I stuck with the hurricanes, which prob was not the best. can't taste the alcohol, but it's there! I actually fell on my back in the middle of the dance floor, talk about horrific embarassment. I just got up and kept dancing. The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.
