Kentucky: What a beautiful state to drive in. My favorite stop was
Mammoth Cave which claims to be
“the world’s longest known cave system.” I spent only a very brief time there touring one section of the cave, but it would definitely be worth at least a day or more of exploring.
Louisiana: For so long, I resisted my husband’s repeated suggestions that we visit
New Orleans. I just wasn’t interested. But when an opportunity arose to go there on business one spring, I figured it would be a warm place to escape and it would make him happy. I must say, this city far exceeded my expectations! We stayed at the Sheraton at the edge of the French Quarter, and our room several floors up had an amazing view of the city.

Things we enjoyed: the cemetery where we saw
Marie Laveau’s grave, the Voodoo Museum, beans & rice at the Napolean House restaurant, cafe au lait and beignets at Cafe Du Monde, parades both evenings we were there (did you know that you
don’t have to raise your shirt to get people to throw beads to you?), and just walking around the French Quarter looking at all of the buildings and people. Bourbon street was something else!

Something to do next time: take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the quarter, go on a ghost tour, and visit the
Insectarium.
