New Orleans, Louisiana
On our way to New Orleans, we stopped off at the USS Alabama, a retired warship. Being able to explore the whole ship, which was the one used in the ‘Under Siege’ film, was a fascinating experience. There were more planes to see as well in a next-door hangar.
For eating out in New Orleans, I can highly recommend Mothers restaurant, the Ruby Slipper Breakfast restaurant and Café Du Monde (famous for its beignets and coffee), which all seem to be New Orleans institutions. Tempted? Read our foodie blog about New Orleans.
