[Lnc-business] New Orleans - early arrival for a River tour?

[Scott L.]

I am currently talking to our Louisiana LNC members to see if it is possible
to arrange a trip to Port Eads.

 

Where the heck is Port Eads?

 

Go to  http://mapcarta.com/21021362

 

And then zoom out enough so that you can see where it is in relationship to
New Orleans.

 

 

 

Because you need a boat to get there, if we pull this off it is going to be
a full day trip.   It would probably have to happen on the Thursday before
our probable LNC Session in New Orleans.  The bad news is that it means
arriving in New Orleans on Wednesday.  The good news is that you would have
all day on Friday to tour New Orleans.

 

The attraction of this trip would be 

 

1.      Getting to see a section of the Mississippi River that very few
tourists ever get to see.

 

2.      You would probably get to see a few alligators

 

 

 

You can read about the destination here      http://www.porteads.com/

 

 

Our negotiations with the various vendors are very preliminary right now.  I
am going to try to get the transportation cost from New Orleans to Port Eads
and back down to the $100 to $200 per person range.  (1)  I know that sounds
steep, but remember that this would be a full day trip - probably leaving
New Orleans at 7am and returning around 6pm.

 

At this point, I just want to let you know we are working on this, in case
it piques your interest.

 

Needless to say, this trip would also be open to any LP of Louisiana
members.

1.  The price I have been quoted is $650 round trip for a boat.   And that
is from the end of the road in Venice, LA to Port Eads, and back.  But - if
we can get enough people to attend, I hope we can knock the per person price
down to $100 or so.
