I saw the heart and soul of New Orleans in the forty years I have been visiting there. I have explored this city in great detail and provide the reader with some history, humor, good stories, and a little philosophizing about the experience. Whenever people think about taking a vacation with their family, friends, or by themselves, New Orleans always come to mind. Why wouldn't it? The Big Easy has some of the most exciting activities, awesome music and wonderful food that a person can experience. New Orleans is truly a wonder filled town that leaves a strong impression in the mind that can't be duplicated anywhere else and it's the people that are its true treasure. As you will see in this book, my impressions of New Orleans are good ones. New Orleans has a warm and colorful culture, a spirit and manner unique to itself due to its isolated geography. I try to transport my readers into another world they may or may not ever occupy themselves; I take them on an adventure they may only dream about. I tried to keep my book positive, adventuresome, humorous, and fun to read.
