IA VACATION (Labor Day Weekend)

[4dmin]

Alright so i've had the idea for a while for an IA Vacation, a few days of drinking, dancing, nice resturants, site seeing, partying like usual IA style..... so I'm thinking of going back to New Orleans in September 2-5th labor day weekend. This would be an ADULT ONLY 21+ weekend, b/c of the excessive bars/clubs down there. If your interested in going post up. Below is the place Kate & I stay when we go down, is in walking distance to everything and it is fucking awesome ultra modern lofts.

http://www.loft523.com/loft.html or http://www.ihhotel.com/ (they are next door and owned by the same person)

^ if you have never been to New Orleans; River street in Savannaha, GA is a small taste of what its like. Its definately a city that doesn't sleep... it has something for everyone wether your into just partying, music, dancing, the arts, shopping, gambling, etc...

[kilpatty43]

[drupason]

you bitches should come down to florida instead!!!! woot

[4dmin]

count me OUT you and julio should go NO is fucking awesome...

[Brett]

What does this usally cost? ( Rough Idea )

[4dmin]

^ the loft/ihotel will run 139-199$ a night i believe but i can probably get us a group discount, since kate and i have stayed there before. then whatever money you want to spend while down there.

- there is a nice aquarium
- 5 story imax
- tons of tours/sites
- shopping
- drinking everywhere
- clubs etc...

we spent about $1000 last time we went down... but we went shopping as well.

[Brett]

If the kids go to thier dads we may go with you all ( But to early to know if they will be with us or him that weekend )

I use to live in New Orleans...well, Kenner. Anyway, haven't been in awhile. I'd go. Oh, and on the Cancun tip, I usually go 3x a year so I could arrange a very good deal for a group. May even spend less and have all inclusive...wouldn't mattter if under 21 too. Just a thought.

^i'm liking what what my fellow lude brother has offered.... :)

[BOOSTED2KLUDE]

If you let me know what the NO trip would end up costing (figure room, gas, alcohol, food, and oh yeah...alcohol) I can see what kind of price I can come up with. I know the resort managers at Costa Real and Gran Caribe Real....would just need how many rooms and if all would be departing from atlanta. I went in september last year for 4days/3nights for like $450....flight, all inclusive hotel (food and beverages, alcoholic and non). Once again, just a thought...not tryin to change the thread. NO is cool too.

[The Ren]

i turn 21 August 29th... the weekend before labor day.. so If the man and I dont go to Vegas this weekend.. N.O. sounds like a plan :D

[AtifSajid]

^ atif, i figured you guys would be down :(

We are going to Toronto next weekend for a week and then taking Sania to disney World for her 5th birthday which is in August for a solid 4-5 days..gonna be spending much loot.

[AznTraitor]

hey paul....if you guys still do the New Orleans thing....it's actually alot cheaper to just stay in Slidell,you can a rent a house on the lake or get a nice hotel room and it's really only a 20min ride to Bourbon. I usually head to New Orleans 3-4 times a year....2 for mardi gras and then the other two to visit family.

just a thought for you, but it sounds like alot of fun, wish I could go.

Seattle is somewhere you guys could go too, beautiful countryside and lots to do and see....and of course, the live music is great!

[trythefly]

Great idea Paul! We were thinking about going there for our honeymoon (also labor day w/e). But we decided to go to FL instead.....
