Leaving lovely Tampa and heading to New Orleans 2nd May

We had our last morning in Tampa and had such a great time there. Our first day in New Orleans - arrived at 4.30 after a very short flight from Tampa to our hotel La Galarie an oldie hotel in a great location - had a walk around to get our bearings and went on a Ghost Tour which was fun and very interesting and then had a walk down the famous Bourbon Street.

Well finished our cruise today arrived back in Miami at 7.00am had brekki on board and departed the ship at 9.30am and got a cab to Hertz. We picked up our hire car from Miami and headed off for a 4 and half hour drive to Tampa. Stressful getting out of Miami but once we hit the highways it was good. Got to our hotel at 4.30 and what a great location. Now time to look around! Party atmosphere everywhere you looked and our hotel has a Beach Bar restaurant attached where they had a live band and beach volley ball comps. We headed over to Whiskey Joes bar and grill for th party on the beach -amazing!!
