Ready and raring to go at 4:15 this morning (Vegas time), we returned our sportsmobile and eventually hopped onto our flight to New Orleans via Atlanta. Flying AirTran, which is like buses for the air, and crappy ones at that, we made it as far as Atlanta, Georgia, when delay after delay caused the cancellation of ours and about 100 other flights.Instead of getting uppity and stressed about the situation we played Euchre, had a laugh at the many thousands of Americans feeding their faces with fries and fake cheese, and calmly accepted the option of a 4 star overnight stay at a discounted rate! Right now we're putting our feet up and watching a reply of Stage 9 of le Tour and sipping hot drinks. Hopefully, bright and early tomorrow we'll be on our way to Bourbon Street, New Orleans!

What a bugger! Guess you are bound to have at least one airport/airline stuff up per trip...
Soooo what's the shopping like in Atlanta? Any good outlets?
Let's hope the rest of your trip goes to plan. One hiccup was bound to happen unfortunately. US airlines are ALL awful, so don't think badly of just AirTran.
Fingers crossed that you got to New Orleans on the early morning flight and that your hotel puts you in the lap of luxury - that will go some way to appeasing you.
We are in the best location in NO, a few metres from Bourbon st! Since our swamp tour just got rained out the only thing left to do is a Bourbon St pub crawl...bring it on :) (Fi)
Ohhhh nooo your swamp tour got cancelled? What a bugger! And I've heard from a reliable source that someone got MORE than a little tipsy.....I think 'sloshed' would be the word??? This time next week.....Yippeeee! Do you want lasagne for dinner next Tuesday?
