WESTPORT
at Mardi Gras
in New Orleans, LA
Feburary 27th, 2001
Well it's here again and for Doug and I well I don't know just a tradition now. I guess we had a lot of memorys after the years. I think the best quote last year was "Low down and dirty Mr. Portelli". Oh then there was the chicken man one year. Always a time to get a Lucky Dog but don't worry I'm sure they will be out of relish for the 5 year. Doug new thing for this year is he says we get T-Shirts with the bars of new orleans so we can say we have been to all of them. But you know Doug or Douggie Dog, dig doug dig, doug dick doug will probably get all the gay bars of New Orleans. haha
Oh then don't forget we will be stopping for breakfast at Joe's.

Condo Information:
If you plan on staying in a condo I need to get $100 security deposit that is
NON-REFUNDABLE because all the money for the condo needs to be paid up front and there is
NO REFUNDs. The condo's that we booked last year was pretty nice. Had a balcony, hot tub,
kitchen, and all the things that you hope a nice condo will have. They slept 4 people
unless you want to sleep on the floor. One condo for the week is around $1500 which breaks
down to about $375 per person if you sleep 4 in your condo.
Flight Information:
The longer you wait to book your flight the higher the price. Some of us
bought our tickets back in March for $202.04. Prices as of 11/13/1998 is about
$542 for direct depending on what times you want to fly.
Feb 22nd Depart DTW on flight # 1477 at 9:00am arrive MSY 10:30am
March 3rd Depart MSY on flight #1474 at 4:20pm arrive DTW 7:50pm
When we land we will be getting either one or 1 limos to take us to the condos depending on how much SHIT we have packed with us. We have to fit the (20) 30 packs in the LIMO this year so we might run out of ROOM.
Unless Doug pulls another DF and gets a CAB.
