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

[Wes Benedict]

Count me as a maybe. If it will help turnout, a probably. I'm biased, 
but I think New Orleans is one of the best places to visit. Chill on a 
boat ride, have some warm coffee or drink a hurricane. The best food in 
the world: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Start dieting now so you can 
bulk back up in New Orleans. Awesome fun places any time of day. If none 
of that works for you, it's usually warm enough for a great day of golf. 
In case of rain, stay in bar all day or go to casino or the aquarium.

Bump me up to "quite likely."
