NEW ORLEANS? night of Biloxi?

[GTPilot88]

So I put everything into Google Maps today.

I used Biloxi Mississippi Coliseum as the venue, because Travelplanners has Biloxi as the TBA city. I noticed New Orleans was half way between Biloxi and Baton Rouge... That got me thinking??? ( i know that can get dangerous)



Would it be worth it to go to the French Quarter the night we are in Biloxi? and meet up with the route the next day?

Anyone else think of this? or doing this?

I am going to book a hotel somewhere near the French Quarter while i ponder this this a little more, and also figure out if I am going to Long Haul or not. Funds are going to be an issue, whole family is planning a trip to Disney this year, and family first!

The only thing is I would be worried about my vehicle the whole time. Last time we where in New orleans there where cars on blocks sitting in the road. I was in a rental so I didn't really care but I don't think I would like my truck sitting out. That's just me. A quick stop maybe and eat but not going to spend the night if I can help it.

I will have my 17 year old son with me. A drive through may be the best thing.

I will have my 14 year old son with me so I'll have to pass on that detour.

I was planning on finding a hotel with a secure lot. My wife has an uncle that works downtown and could lead us in the right direction. He drives a Mercedes or Lexus to work everyday and sometimes has to stay over night too.

this hotel is right in the middle of the french quarter and they have a parking garage, also, you could stay out in Slidell or Bay st.louis

The coliseum in Biloxi is already booked for a fair on June 11, per their website. I think it will be in downtown Biloxi where the Block Party is during Cruisn' the Coast. The Block Party has more cars than HRPT.

I have an alternate reservation at the Holiday Inn in the French Quarter for that night. If we use it i am planning on parking in one of the ramps downtown. Biloxi looks like a cool stop though and the drive that day will already be pretty long. We'll see when we get closer.

IF it is the same Holiday Inn that boob always stays in - it has an attached secured parking garage and is a very easy walk (stumble) to Bourbon Street.

Afternoon guys-
I am being told by the action packed Midgety wife this year's tour is a requirement for us as they are going to be near new Orleans. Personally, my paranoia complex ranks around the level of the muppet beaker dealing with a fire...
I also promise that while on tour we will not be trying to reproduce the movie "Fear is the Key". Especially that jump onto the fairy boat...


Ed, let me know the info of that hotel with security. Trying to stick with the BS group this year in cities I have no clue about.

I've never heard Disney and the French Quarter mentioned in the same sentence.
