I *HEART* NOLA! The Special Event 2010

Truly one of the best experiences I have had! An amazing city, along with an amazing group of Event Professionals from all over the world. I met so many great new friends, colleagues and partners! I look forward to working together and collaborating with many of you! And this year's ISES Event World Baltimore and next year's Special Event Show in Phoenix should be equally amazing! Till then!

Here is a recap on my adventures in the great city of New Orleans..

1st Day in New Orleans

Woah! Finally here in NOLA! My countdown is complete! The city is so Beautiful, historic and culturally rich!




The infamous Bourbon street, night time action



The French Quarter!




The Riverside




The famous balconies!

The food is amazing! Ranking in the top 3 as far as the places I have been. We had dinner last night at Antoine's to DIE for! The fried oysters with pate' Ahh! Magnificent! This restaurant is voted one of the 1,000 places to see before you die, and has been around since the 1800's how's that for history!

I am leaving earlier to attend all the ISES leadership meetings/events, as the show starts Tuesday. There will be some exciting tidbits live via Twitter/ Facebook and recaps each night via the blog.
