Hey Ladies Me and a group of my lovely ladies are planning a trip to the Essence Festival in New Orleans July 2013. I would love to speak to some of you whose gone to/lives close to New Orleans... any secrets..whats hotels are best(we dont want to rent a car we'd like to be walking distance everywhere..will take a cab if we have too)..Hows the concerts..any info you have would be grand! I hope to have lost another 60lbs by then.. Also feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!

    Hey lady! I have been but it was over 10 yrs ago. My honey and I are going to be there next year (2013). I would like to be at my goal weight by then minus 60ish lbs. WE should connect to keep each other motivated!

    Hey girlie! I'm from the area and I've been a longgggggg time ago. But yeah, if you get a hotel downtown by the Superdome...you will be in walking distance of all the festivities and Bourbon St., so you won't need a car.

    I'll have to see about which hotels would be the best. I'll just message you. Oh and I might go next year too!! :D
