This trip to New Orleans was my third. I had been before for the Buku music festival and for a weekend gateway with friends. This latest trip was with my mom. I wanted to take her to New Orleans because it is an amazing city for its architecture, history but most importantly because this is where they shot NCSI New Orleans!! Yes both my mother and I are huge NCIS and CSI crime TV shows.
We stayed right downtown in the French quarters at the Hyatt Centric on Bourbon Street. We were right in the middle of the action!
Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour
I found that the best way to visit a city is to book a hop-on hop-off tour bus the first day you arrive. This way you get to see the whole city while relaxing but most importantly you can already spot the places you will want to come back and spend more time into.
Mardi Gras World
I visited for the first time the amazing Mardi Gras World with my mom. Everybody know about the big celebration around Mardi Gras (which is French for Fat Tuesday) where you can witness an amazing parade of decorated floats just like in the movies. This is place was just incredible. The details and skills that goes into all pieces of the design and construction of the floats is breathtaking and to me, magical. It is just like being in on a movie set!
