Yes, we’re “leaving on a jet plane” in a few hours to head to New Orleans, land of gumbo and music and All Things Shrimp.

It’s an experiment to check our travel mojo. Banjo Man doesn’t want to fly much at all, I want to spend three days in the British Museum in London, so this was our compromise.

And it’s a great one!!! We love New Orleans, especially at Christmas.

This picture was from our last French Quarter adventure in 2019. Fresh off radiation I didn’t have a lot of energy, but I did manage to eat all the gumbo I could find.

Then it’s on to Texas for Christmas.

Oh, I’ll have my phone in my lap at all times during the flights in case one of these mysterious, frightening drones appears outside the window.

We’re very, very nervous here on the East Coast. The drones are the size of cars and have been seen in packs of fifty flying over homes, military bases, etc.

Other than Santa and his sleigh, these aren’t what anyone wants to see in the sky.

Time to zip up the suitcase…
