I love New Orleans. The music, food, sounds, smells, people, and history. I would not want to live there though; no sleep and too much fun will kill me.
I took my 10 year old grandson to the Satchmo Festival last August. He is starting to play the clarinet and I figured the best way for him to experience "real fun" clarinet playing is in New Orleans.
Sleeping in the top bunk was just fine for the grandson.
Enjoying breakfast and watching Tennessee go by.
Train travel is delightful with children. They think the sounds and movements of the train are pretty cool. The private compartment was a nice respite from sitting with everyone in the lounge car.
