Decided that the earlier thought of Carolinas to NOLA or vice versa trip over 3 weeks was too much. So now, we’ve signed up for Road Scholar’s New Orleans French Quarter Fest 5-night tour (April 15-20) which leaves about 8 more days for a likely two week trip. Probably will add at least one more day to NOLA to see a friend so we have another week to roam.
Itinerary thoughts?
- Just Louisiana and Mississippi (Natchez Trace? Delta. Oxford?) and fly open jaw, in to Memphis and home from NOLA?
- Or loop through MS and LA and fly RT in and out of NO?
- Atlanta to NOLA via AL and MS civil rights sights (esp. Montgomery), perhaps Oxford, Natchez Trace, MS Delta? (No Memphis on this third alternative.)
My thinking is ‘less is more’ and we might be well advised to punt on the AL civil rights trail sights. Is Memphis (and/or Oxford and environs) also too much to include in two weeks, which would limit MS to the Delta country, Natchez Trace and perhaps Vicksburg?
Jojo Rabbit, Salbeachbum, and Mary (among others) have already given us a lot to chew on for NO, Louisiana and Mississippi in response to my earlier post, US South 17 day to 3 Week ideas. So, thnx again and no need to repeat those suggestions, here.
