[QUOTE="sixseven, post: 1701403, member: 8083"] It will be hot and humid. We were there for the national championship game and it was jeans and tshirt weather then (65 degrees during the day). The WWII museum is a must, and whatever you do, make sure you also get a ticket to watch the movie they have there by Tom Hanks. It's incredible. I don't know about you, but I like to have a drink or two, so carrying concealed wasn't on my agenda while I was there. Also not sure about the laws there but almost every place on bourbon street makes their money selling alcohol, so I'd be inclined to leave my piece in the room at least for the time you'll be on bourbon. When we were there, there's a bar called Fat Katz right in the middle of bourbon street and they had the best cover band i've seen in 10 years.
