And for all you noobs thinking the experience of bourbon street is the same as the whole of New Orleans should probably get out more. The quarter is always gross. Whatamount in his flip flops just makes it grosser, lol

Favorite trip to New Orleans was a bachelor party with a guy who had previously lived there. We did one bourbon street night but everything else was local spots.

It's fine but it's kind of gross. It's one of the poorest cities in the country and it's pretty obvious. It's a step back in time in a not positive way. So much of the entertainment feels completely contrived. It's got a fucking casino. I doubt I'll ever go back.

Haleakala should have made my top 5. I’ve hiked across the crater about 8 times. It’s amazing.

Best sunrise I have ever seen was on its summit. The crater is so quiet. I’ve been out there with nobody in sight.

Great hiking in the Kīpahulu District too.

I should have found a way to work Dry Tortugas in my top 10.

When I worked in Hawaii, our worksite was on the east rim and slopes of Haleakala and sometimes we’d hike up to the rim before sun rise. Some real Nature shit. Occasionally the weather was so bad in the rain forest that the helicopters couldn’t come get us so, running out of food, we’d have to hike home, up over the east rim, down to the crater floor, up the switchbacks on the northwest rim then down to the parking lot. If I recall correctly it was about 12 miles with 3000 elevation change over the course of the day. Some real exhausting shit, but I saw lots of Nenes.
 
If you’re bored then you’re boring

If you can’t have fun in West Virginia or LA or New Orleans or Mississippi the problem isn’t those places, it’s you. If you don’t dig the food, go outside and look at nature. If you don’t dig nature, try the culture. If there ain’t much culture I bet they sell whiskey or have movies or bookstores or museums or antique shops or spas or dog parks etc etc.

If we’re qualifying it as places to live or visit on business or with kids, fine. But if you’re a grown adult and you’ve got these holdups, man.
 
I saw my lifer Virginia Rail on the streets of New Orleans at night during a Hurricane.

I had a similar take to this previously. I have gone to places big and small on work trips and had fun every time.

New Orleans is great, including the quarter.
 
Bullshit. You act like you've never been anywhere that didn't agree with you. I found New Orleans to be more or less disgusting. I'm not going to New Orleans or Mississippi to go to a dog spa FFS.

Sure, the food in NO is great. There's great food everywhere. I'm perfectly capable of having a reasonably good time there, there are just a bunch of places I'd rather be.
