We are in New Orleans now. Since everything was booked solid (arthritis conference + football game) the only room available was the Palace Suite. Money Schmoney...since it was really late we took it. As we entered the room, it looked just like any other hotel room and we were kind of disappointed UNTIL !!! we noticed the adjacent room containing a HOLLYWOOD SWING. Completely senseless, I might add, since it faces a kitchen and is totally ugly...but at least now we can say we stayed in a suite with a swing. Yay. Rock star feeling, here we come. Now we'll go off to swing a bit more, then it's off to the usual hostel business.
