I bought the tickets about 2 weeks before the trip, which ended up being two days after hurricane Isadore had struck. I got plenty of sassy email warning me to "bring galoshes". I considered my timing pretty choice, but I quickly learned that another storm was on its way: Hurricane Lili.
I had a great time with Wendy, which means that I didn't have time to write much, leaving this travelogue to be primarily a group of photos with captions. Enjoy.

![]() I had brought a little black and white security camera to New Orleans, and seeing these balloons hanging gave me an excellent idea. We could hang the camera from these balloons and get aerial video footage of Wendy's neighborhood. |
