Tourist Guide

The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. 

Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. 

If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

Property was clean. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking was horrible, they only offer valet and charge by the day. Valet was nice though. Pool was small but private. Rooms were well maintained. It was close enough to walk to French Quarter and far enough away to not deal with the noise
