A few months ago, Juan and I were having a conversation about where to travel next. We had traveled via cruise in April, but wanted to make another trip in 2024, if possible.
One trip we have been wanting to do is to visit multiple places in Europe. This is currently not possible due to various reasons so we started looking into a US state, preferably one we haven’t visited before.
One of our main selling points about a potential travel destination is the food. We enjoy good food and usually look up reviews tied around a place based on the food options and overall enjoyment by people. With this in mind, we researched states with the best food in the United States.
In most of the lists and articles we found, New Orleans, Louisiana was usually at the top spot or within the top five. Juan and I haven’t visited Louisiana before, so the idea appealed to us. We had a bunch of credit card points saved up, and surprisingly, we were able to book our flights and hotel with points and had to pay minimal difference. We’ll be traveling in November during my birthday.
I’m very excited for this trip, looking forward to exploring the landmarks and learning about New Orleans’ history, but most of all, to try the delicious food. Beignets, gumbo, po-boys and best of all, banana foster! (I adore banana desserts, and they’re hard to come by here in Puerto Rico)
Have you traveled to New Orleans? Do you have any recommendations of places and/or restaurants to visit?
