If you haven't been to Galveston, I highly recommend this City. Check it out on your way to New Orleans, or when you are returning home. There are lots of interesting things to see or do in Galveston. And, some very fine Restaurants. I'm a Railroad buff, and they have a great Railroad museum. TED Z .

I grew up in New Orleans, and I go home at least every couple of years. One out of the way place you might want to check out is a restaurant called Middendorf's. It is in Manchak, which is basically a plot of dirt in the middle of Lake Ponchartrain about a half hour out of town. The restaurant has been there for about 80 years and the catfish is as good as it gets. Plus, the prices are not like the expensive places in New Orleans.
For accommodations, you might want to consider Metairie. It is a suburb, but it is a lot cheaper. Plus, New Orleans is so small that you can drive from a Metairie hotel to the French Quarter (or anywhere else) in fifteen minutes or so. Avoid anything on the east side of New Orleans. Hit or miss there.

I lived in Clear Lake City, a hop skip and a jump from Galveston, for several years growing up and am originally from Houston. I am sure I have been to Galveston hundreds of times but not in the last 20+ yrs. Not a bad suggestion. And thanks for the other comments too, guys. I have to admit though with what has gone on just down the road from us in Dallas (we are a suburb to the north) it is making us pause about going a lot of places. I am sure we will go but it's kind of crazy out there sometimes.

My wife and I usually avoid tours and touristy stuff, but we took the Katrina tour and it was very interesting.
I don't know when you are traveling, but you might be able to get to a card show.

Hey Rick
Thanks for the suggestions. I subject my family to way too much card stuff already so I doubt I take in a show or shop. Katrina tour does sound interesting as tragic as the event was. Quote:
