    While kicked back and comfortable on the sofa waiting my turn at the bank, I reached for a magazine with Arnold Palmer's name on top.

    New Orleans has long been celebrated because of it's music scene and it's heritage of "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez" simply for the fun of it! One doesn't need a reason to let the good times roll because it's always rolling no matter what day or time you happen to arrive there. On rare occasion, however, you might catch a glimpse of the true soul of the city; one with a deep and meaningful purpose accompanying the music.... as is the case when I met New Orlean's own Dancing Man 504!

    The ambiance of New Orleans is one of historical splendor, french facades, and horse drawn carriage rides while musical notes hang in the air beckoning you to explore what is around each corner.  

    The Big Easy is laid back as implied; and specializes in the intricacies of hospitality done well in welcoming Naw'Leans style; a perfect setting for a romantic anniversary.

    When planning for a visit to New Orleans, there are plenty of lovely hotel accomodations, yet I'd consider...
