What's the LAST thing you do?

For all of the NOLA fans, you%26#39;ve all been there, you wake up on the last day of your well planned trip and it%26#39;s finally the last day. Maybe you%26#39;re a little too hungover, or maybe you popped out of bed real early to savor the last few hours. You%26#39;re packed, your plane leaves in the afternoon or in the evening. (NO WAY could I ever take an early flight out!) How do you spend your last few hours? Back to your favorite bar? Restaurant? Shopping? Crying? I usually plop myself down in one of my favorite restaurants, have a great last meal and then do a last tour, have a bloody mary and wait for a cab. You?

What's the LAST thing you do?

On our way out of town we stop at Southern Candies on Decatur (the original store) to pick up some pralines. That way they are as fresh as we can get them.

Muffelata for the plane ride home!

Last thing I did was breakfast at Cafe du Monde. Can%26#39;t get a better goodbye than cafe au lait and fresh beignets!

This is too sad to think about. :-)

Cry, didn%26#39;t want to leave.

I like to spend my final hours quietly, at Napoleon House. Sometimes I order a farewell bowl of gumbo.

beignets and maybe one more walk down Decatur.

This year, since our flight didn%26#39;t leave until 7:30pm, we had lots of time!

Checkout was at 10:30 (EEK). They stored our bags and we headed out.

First stop was Port of Call for a last burger and a Monsoon (actually, we split a Monsoon since it was early in the day).

After lunch, we headed out shopping for all the last minute souvenirs (including the pralines!) and a trip to the Louisiana Music Factory to load up on c/d%26#39;s from artists we%26#39;d seen and liked during our trip.

Next stop was Pat O%26#39;Brien%26#39;s, where we got hurricanes and sat on the courtyard, killing time and people watching.

Next, more shopping and wandering aimlessly.

Last stop before going back to the hotel was Cafe du Monde; we had iced coffees and one last order of beignets (shared).

Needless to say, we weren%26#39;t AT ALL hungry during the flight!

final cocktail, gumbo, and walk - kind of like death march back to hotel. I don%26#39;t like this thread.

This last time we had breakfast at Brennan%26#39;s, went for 1 last walk and then bought a suitcase to get all of our stuff home (!) and then headed to the airport. There we had some jambalya and got on the plane. Already planning the next trip back. Loved it!
