Happy Halloween!!

Just thought I would send out a quick greetings for my North American readers. 10/31 is Halloween a time when people dress in costumes and act kind of crazy, and send our kids out to beg candy from strangers. come to think of it, it is kind of crazy.

If you like to travel for this holiday there are two destinations that I can recommend. One family friendly, one decidedly not.

The family friendly spots that I recommend are easy. If you are on the east coast Orlando (Disney, Universal, Seaworld, or the other travel destinations) if you are on the west coast SoCal (Disney, Universal, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags). Each has various things that you can do to ring in All Hallows Eve in style and it will give your little ones a chance to say I went and it was scary fun.

Now for those of you getting away from kids I recommend New Orleans. A city so steeped in history that its founding predates the United States (NOLA was founded officially in 1718 but the native inhabitants around 100BCE, yeah I researched it) this place has it all. This city has clubs and bars, is within driving distance to casinos, and everywhere you look are graveyards, battle grounds, sacred sites (both secular and  religious), music, food, and French and Gothic architecture. Get a Hurricane and let loose.

Be safe.
