I have a friend that travels from Salt Lake City every year for the Jazz Festival.........He dearly loves Jazz but he tells me that he is, like your daughter, in love with the New Orleans charm and food.
I have to agree with him on the food......but to a lesser degree on the charm of the city itself.
What's funny is that on the even numbered years I travel to Chicago to a trade show...........this year is my SHOW YEAR...........I really like Chicago (but don't want to live there)
Like they always say..........the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence............

IMTS is this year but its going to be a short show this year. In the years past it started on Wednesday of the next week after Labor Day and runs thru Thursday of the following week.
I will get you the dates tonight but as I remember it starts on a Monday and ends on a Friday.............no weekend involved...........
I have missed 2 shows since 1986...........I look forward to the trip every other year.

Just got back today to NY from Chicago. Great city, had my inlaws 50th wedding anniversary party. It was an outright blast. No crawdads though....
