Come here and give mama some Suga (Bowl) hot tips

[mocat]

Rent a car one way, figure out flight back later assuming everyone abandoned flight plans and there’ll be options?

yep. and when you get to new orleans, go to the airport to drop off your rental, and check in at the SW desk to let them know you will fly back if it's still on. since you would have skipped your outgoing flight (assuming it ever happened) they will assume you will not be on the return flight unless you tell them.

ben ji I'm supposed to fly out Friday early and change planes in Houston.  Even if I get out of KC, I'm afraid I'll get stuck in Houston.  I will probably drive tomorrow morning with bro and thinking of stopping in Vicksburg, MS as they look to have some Casinos.  Then Friday would be a shorter leg to NOLA.

Yeah, I'm basically resigned to driving at this point. VROOM VROOM

My Flight is showing good for tomorrow and southwest sent me an email saying they are resuming normal operations on Friday....

Bro…..I would not be rolling the dice like that. At least not without snorting a line of bee venom first for good luck.

I will also warn you all, the New Orleans airport baggage claim is a hot rough ridin' mess. Do your best to fit it all in a carry-on if you can. It will save you at least an hour.

Is that a short term problem? I've never had baggage claim issues

I'm fully expecting to fly back Monday on swa.

[SkinnyBenny]

It’s only a problem if the airport is busy. And it will be busy.

I haven’t ever had a lost bag that I’ve had to come back for days later, but there have been so, so many times I’ve had to text the person waiting in their car for me every 5 minutes for 45 minutes that my bag wasn’t out yet. Lots of fights whose baggage loads are all going through one carousel. Also, people in New Orleans take The Big Easy thing to its fullest extent, and that includes moving at a big easy pace when doing literally any task or project.

If you can avoid it, just pack light. Check the weather, but it’s 78 degrees here today.

traveling, sounds great!

[ben ji]

No checked bags here and was able to check into my flight leaving tomorrow afternoon. 

[wetwillie]

Man I hope that bird really flies from KCI tomorrow for you. Would be a great story.

Guys I'm freaking jacked to roll in tomorrow morning. I'm traveling with my teenage daughter and meeting like 10 people in my family. Might only have a lunch and a breakfast with just my daughter but the rest will probably be big groups.

We want:

Beignets
Gumbo
Po boys


Where should we go? I also want to do willa Mae's Scotch House, probably for lunch tomorrow. Would Jaques imos accommodate a big group this late? Any pro tips?

We might also just end up getting carryout or delivery because we're in a big Airbnb.


Where is the post parade/pep rally meetup?

Am I late planning this? YES, but that's how it goes sometimes.

[michigancat]

@MakeItRain where you taking that enormous family? We should meet up with kids and talk Olympic sports

[michigancat]

Also based on plans my family might have I might need to bail on everything but if I know my family nothing has been planned

[michigancat]

Ok based on where we're staying I think I might be able to swing a big group at Mister Ed's and maybe lula distillery. Cafe Porche looked good but maybe not for a bunch of people

[TheHamburglar]

The balcony at Oz is currently where it’s at.

If you can get to Willie Mae's close to when they open (think 11 am), it'll save you from what could be a very long wait - especially if you have a big group.

Oz is so fun. I’m glad you’re here, @TheHamburglar!

[SkinnyBenny]

K but is it direct or is there a connecting flight to also worry about? 

[BIG APPLE CAT]

SB you know I'm a non-stop kinda guy

[SkinnyBenny]

True, I have always known that about you. In fact I could sense it from the first time we met.

[SkinnyBenny]

Guys it’s raining p hard here and is supposed to until 5. I dunno about this parade. :(

[SkinnyBenny]

This thunderstorm is mean. Pray for Ben Ji’s flight. :(
