Walkin' in New Orleans

This weekend was Ouizer's annual work Christmas party. She works for a large company, spread mostly over the southern states and an office in Utah. Her company is very close-knit and personally pays for all of their employees to travel to their party, their hotel fair and dinner. The party this year was at the amazing Westin in New Orleans. The hotel is on Canal street, at the corner of French Quarter. With in minutes, we were at the heart of the Quarter, the French Market and the infamous Bourbon street. We even entered into Marie Lavou's Voodoo shop. I'll have to get more pictures posted of our trip, but I wanted to jot some stuff down out of memory.

Ouizer had the hotel Friday and Saturday night, so we both hoped in the car and took advantage of this opportunity. The hotel was amazing. We roomed on the 21st floor and had a nice view of the city. The beds were amazing. There's even a special pillow of which I loved wanted desperately to take home. We also wanted to take the beds and the dresser with us. Ouizer and I decided they might miss them, a little. She really wanted the double shower head from the bathroom. Although, I did take the toiletries...they smell so good!

Glenda met up with us Saturday morning and we toured the Quarter. We saw an awesome street show. There were four guys doin' break dancin/acrobatic stuff. But they were hilarious, too!

The party was very nice. Very hoity toity... The food was good as well.

The story of the trip, though, was when we were trying to check out. There were 4 elevators from the guest rooms to the lobby. When we decided to check out, only 1 elevator was working. We sat in front of the elevator and watched it open 5 different times-full of people-on 5 different trips. After the 5th time, I said, "Screw It," and went down the stairs. It was only 10 flights down to the lobby. But I straight up when down there and waiting for Ouizer and Glenda to come on down. They said they had to wait 4 more trips and finally they just crammed into one. It was hilarious.
