The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. 

Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. 

If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

Enjoyed my time at the hotel. There was a problem with food that I had at the restaurant, but I couldn't address the problem cause they were closed when I checked out. However, the service by the staff was so exceptional, I decided to overlook the food problem.

I stay here a few times a year, but this time, I had a few glitches. There was no dresser to store my clothing, so I asked for a different room (1 week stay, so I like my clothing put away).
