I'm sure the carb count in a hurricane is way off the charts. Between the multiple types of alcohol and the fruit juices...I'd meet my daily carb quota for a week!

New Orleans is a very unique city.....there's alot more to see than the Vieux Carre' (French Quarter)...there'a alot of wonderful food to be had.....hope you have the willpower.

Ride a riverboat...tour one of the St. Louis cemteries...ride the streetcar down St. Charles Ave......(lots of historic homes)....eat some seafood.....visit Jackson Square. There are quite a few historic museums in and around the quarter.

And most of all...be careful, have fun and keep an open mind....it is a big city with all sorts of folks! There's no telling what you might SEE!
