Good morning from New Orleans, Louisiana!

We are departing for Los Angeles, California this afternoon at 4:40pm! We had a very enjoyable stay at my sister’s home in New Orleans! She is truly a great host! It was definitely like being at home away from home, just much larger than our places in Tokyo and San Jose!

We are definitely looking forward to returning here next year for another extended stay to celebrate Mardi Gras in 2009!
