Two and a Half Travelers was born when I wrote my first entries from the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans while on a mini escape with the Mr.
It couldn't have been a more perfect place to begin -- temporarily on leave from the day-in, day-out demands of an 18 month old; in a city that took up residence in my heart over a decade ago.
Yes, New Orleans is hot and sticky in the summer. Admittedly, it's probably not the best choice for an outdoorsy Summer getaway but if you are more interested in a quiet fully air-conditioned itinerary of restaurants, antiquing and museums, this is your spot.
Since I'm no stranger to writing about New Orleans, it seems fitting to mark the upcoming one-year anniversary of Two and a Half Travelers by sharing a few special French Quarter summer air and hotel offers*:
- Iberville Suites: fourth night free with breakfast daily -- total for two with air $827.
- W New Orleans French Quarter - total for two with air $1134.
- Royal Sonesta: balcony room with breakfast daily -- total for two with air $1255.
*All sample package prices represent four night stay from Saturday, August 1 through Wednesday, August 5 with air from New York's Laguardia airport.
