New Orleans

So I went to New Orleans for Spring Break. I tell people that it was for a friend's 21st birthday (one of the people I was traveling with turned 21 the day before and her party was the night before we left) but the real reason is that a HUGE conference for biomedical engineering research and devices was being held there. I have no way to describe the city other than "completely insane."

I really can't do justice to the experience in words. HERE is a link to pictures. Take a look and I'll try and touch on the highlight below.

First of all, the plane ride there was fairly eventful. My friend who turned 21 the night before (let's call her Andrea) was in surprisingly good shape. If you knew her you wouldn't be surprised, she's Greek, hyper and I guess kind of ok to hang out with (sarcasm). So, our flight was broken up into three legs, Portland to Kansas City, KC to Dallas and Dallas to New Orleans. For me the flight to KC was just fine. The two 1.5 hour flight really did me in. We'll just say I'm prone to motion sickness but usually it's not too bad. The turbulence changed that. I'll keep this decent and just say that I had three 'presents' for the flight attendant.
