We started our morning quite early with a 7:00 a.m. flight, layover in Atlanta and arriving in New Orleans around 12:30 p.m. We took the 202 Bus (Airport Express) to a stop about 3 blocks from our hotel and checked into the Hampton Inn. Our room wasn't ready but we were able to drop our stuff in our parents room, who had arrived the day before.
The hotel is in a great location, just one block west of the French Quarter. Our room is really nice. It is a corner room with a sitting area and king bed. Breakfast in the morning includes a lot of variety. There is a nice fitness center on the 14th floor. The Wifi is incredibly fast (faster than any speeds I have experienced at home.)
We had a good dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., checked out a Vieux Carre Wine & Spirits for some wine to drink while here and to bring on the ship, and stopped in a bakery (Sucre) for some macaroons. Before the end of the trip, we would make one more stop at Sucre and then pick up more macaroons made by Sucre from an airport shop on the way home.
