Our Memphis to New Orleans trip is pretty well planned other than lodgings. Since the NO lodgings are set, it’s the ten preceding days where y’all can help. You’ve already given tons of thoughts on places to visit, restaurants to enjoy, civil rights stops in Memphis, dive bars in Cajun Country and plantations in Louisiana.
