We had no issues flying in to New Orleans today and we were able to get our rental car no problem. Additionally, dad cancelled our Friday night reservation in NO and we're now staying in Baton Rouge tonight (in fact, Brian and I are in our room now).
The rest of my family is flying in tonight.
They've moved up the game to 10 a.m. CDT, so we'll be tailgating at 7:30 a.m. with the App. alumni!! Gotta love crawfish and beer for breakfast!! :-)
Brian and I are planning to head back to New Orleans for the night to go eat dinner and then we'll be back in Baton Rouge tonight.
We're monitoring everything really carefully and we've been super impressed with LSU and the government of Louisiana. They've done a great job informing people of what's going on.
As for getting home, contraflow is scheduled to start Sunday pre-dawn, but we have a road that we can take back to New Orleans to get back to the airport, so if USAirways is still flying out Sunday night, we'll be on that flight. If not, we'll be driving.
The flight from CLT to MSY was the Appalachian Express; it was probably 65% full of App. fans (including App's chancellor--Ken Peacock)!
Oh, and we didn't see Jim Cantore, but we were pretty close because ANDERSON COOPER of CNN was in the baggage claim in New Orleans :-) Pretty cool!
We figure that Anderson:CNN::Cantore:TWC
PARTY ON PEEPS; GO APP!!!!!!
