How to take a vacation in '08 that involves no member of my family
It made me
stuffed & drunk 
"I went to New Orleans with my boyfriend and 2 friends."
How I did it: We flew into New Orleans airport and stayed in my parents' timeshare in the quarter. We ate and drank our way through the Big Easy. And listened to some music too.
Lessons & tips: Go to Pat O'Brian's for an afternoon hurricane.
Have cafe au laits and beignets at Cafe du Monde daily.
