Can we ask Wes Wagner to go on this trip to see alligators?

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.
