So the g/f and I have decided to not go to WAS as the last "zone" trip, but to go to NYP instead. However, we are also adding NOL as the other endpoint. We will either start in NOL or start in NYP, flying to/from one of these. We will only have one week this summer, so we will do a couple days in NYC and a couple in NOLA, and the Crescent between.....flying to/from Dallas before and after.
Questions are:
1. Which direction should we take the Crescent to get best scenery/experience?
2. Hotel recommendations in NOLA?
3. Hotel recommendations in NYC?
G/f did her doctoral dissertation on post Katrina communications problems in NOLA, and this will be her first visit back since then, and her first ever visit as a "fun" trip, so we will do a bit of night life and a lot of historical/local flavor exploring. Would want a decent hotel within reasonable distance of Amtrak station, and in NYC, we will do the touristy stuff (Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, Broadway show, etc) and just walk and look......
Thanks to all in advance for your suggestions and input. Happy 2016!
