I started to book on Travelocity, then my wife looks over at the computer screen and says "you do know we have doctor appointments on Fri and Saturday right?"

crap....and they can't be rescheduled.

I'm staying at one of the Hiltons downtown for $115 a night, $26 for valet parking. Its less than a mile from the Superdome so I will walk there, probably closer than the walk from the brown lot I did yesterday.

As for game day ticket--I paid over $400 for lower level, prices were ridiculous, I tried Ticketmaster, StubHub & Razorgator. I didn't get a deal and know I overpaid but whatever...it'll be the last game I go to this offseason win or lose.

Took most of the day to wrangle it while I was working, but got it together. It helped that my wife worked in Baton Rouge last year so she knew the ropes a little. Southwest Airlines tried to rape, I mean rape me. $1700 effing bucks for roundtrip from Abq. Pulled it off with skymiles from Continental.

Made it happen and will get there Fri pm. Staying at Sheraton nearby.

Is there Saturday before the game Cards fans want to meet? Let me know. Staying in the Garden District with relatives so the French Qtr is only a street car ride away.

You have met them all last year I think. But none of the old school from our tailgate are going. It will be my wife, me, Bob, Cassie and Terx. We dont get in until late Friday night I guess. But we are staying until Sunday afternoon. If there is gonna be a tailgate we want to be a part of it. Here is my number 480-343-8573.

I dont know exactly where we are staying, just know it is in the French Qtr. But yeah we need to round up all the Cards fans before the game and make it a party.

If you are staying at the Hilton Riverside, you got a great rate. Last year at the dental convention, we got a $176 per room group rate (if I remember correctly). Thank you all for coming and rebuilding the city. The main industry of New Orleans is tourism, so when you come and enjoy yourself you are helping the city. THANK YOU! Of course the Saints will win (What do you expect? I am a Saints fan and I have to believe.) but I think you will have a good time no matter what. Again, thank you for helping the city rebuild.

Hilton Riverside was booked, I stayed there last time the Cardinals were in town. I am in the Hilton Garden Inn/French Quarter on Gravier St.

I don't know that one but Gravier I consider part of the CBD (Cental Business District) which is very close to the Superdome and and the French Quarter. You should be in good shape for the game. Let me know if the hotel meets your expectations.
