Greetings from the Big Easy

The first thing you need to know about the Big Easy is that it was a lot easier to get here than the last time I visited New Orleans. Got a cheap flight into Jackson, Miss., and the difference in fare for driving a couple of hours paid for the rental car for the whole week and — if I can get a reservation — dinner at Emeril’s restaurant in the warehouse district.
