I just found out that my travel agent never booked my flight to NO...

So I logged on to Travelocity and got tickets and a rental car for $70 more than my original itinerary. No cabs for me this weekend to/from the airport. Word.

So that makes 2 cars for the caravan.

RJS had better get the insurance or make sure his credit card offers free rental car insurance

Insure these.

As for chauffering, I've got two built in passengers to squeeze into the compact car in my travel group, but I don't mind driving (a bit) in the mornings before I've started drinking if people need to get places. This is all assuming that I can peel myself out of bed in the morning before drikning starts. Which is assuming a lot.

In other words, I'm going to tell IGY that I might drive out to the destruction zone (for some depressing real life slaps in the face before my booze-soaked fairytale life continues) but the reality is that there is about a 30% chance of it actually happening.

they have sight seeing tours of the 9th ward...i know its no different than me wanting to go but having an actual sight seeing tour is kinda unseemly isnt it

They had em in Ny after the attacks. If theres money to be made, you can bet someone is capitolizing on it.

I wanna go on a sightseeing tour of the place where the looters took all their mechandise. They probably have the world's biggest flea market there...might find a cheap iPod or camera.

My buddy that I go on these annual roadies with just called to say he may have to bail on me at the last minute. Uncle dying. Not even a real uncle, but his wife's mother's sister's husband. He better be farging with me.

Apparently, nobody really cares, but I'm back on 100% certain. I belittled my buddy into telling his wife he's not missing this game for a non-real Uncle.

Bring on the hoopties....
