I was with you from beginning to the end - a fascinating read with some great nail biting suspense in the middle - I can imagine how scary it must have been to find yourself stranded in the middle of the night -

I haven't been to New Orleans yet probably because I am under the impression that it can be crowded/lots of noise (I tend to seek out less touristy places) but it does sound like a lovely, welcoming place😊👍
