Breakfast (B) – Lunch (L) – Dinner (D) - (Today: D)

Wednesday, Feb 1st   - We'll be at the train station when our train arrives from Chicago about 6:
30 a.m. & we'll leave for New Orleans just before 7 a.m. Riding The City of New Orleans to the
"Big Easy" is going to be an adventure that most folks will never experience. You'll have plenty
of leg room in your "recliner" seat complete with a leg rest to watch the world pass by. See the
catfish farms, cotton plantations with the "big-house" & the dilapidated share-cropper homes,
small towns & wildlife galore. Watch for different type of animals/birds as we travel thru some of
Louisiana's bayou country & as we skirt Lake Pontchatrain.
We'll be on board our train during breakfast & lunch going to New Orleans. You'll experience it
all as you select from the snack & sandwich selections in the Lounge Car or complete regional
cuisine meals in the Dining Car with fancy white tablecloths & all the finery you'd expect. Each
train has its own on-board chef & all food is prepared to order. Meals while on board are not
included in your tour price to allow you to budget your expenses
according to your needs & wishes.

In the double-decker “Sightseer” Lounge Car with wrap-around windows you can watch the
movies or just sit back & enjoy this great experience & all the wonderful scenery. In addition to
the ample leg room, you can get up and walk from one end of the train to the other. Be sure to
see it all while you're "Walking To New Orleans".
We’re Here - We'll arrive at the New Orleans train station mid-afternoon & our motorcoach will
be waiting to take you to our hotel in the French Quarters. After check in & some time to freshen
up, it's back on our coach for an evening visit to the French Quarters. (Meals: B)

Thursday, Feb 2nd     After our delicious breakfast, we'll board our coach for a full day of
adventure. A local, professional tour guide will join us this morning to give us a look at the New
Orleans that we've only heard about. Centuries old architecture sets the scene for a tour
through the city. Our guide will usher us through the city's most fascinating neighborhoods &
landmarks all the while sharing interesting facts & fabled stories you'll never forget. The French
Quarters, Jackson Square, the Cabildo, historic Esplanade Avenue & St. Louis Cemetery, the
“city of the dead” with its above ground tombs are just a little of what we’ll see on this great
tour. We’ll also visit the Katrina destroyed 9th Ward and see the damaged home of the great
entertainer Fats Domino who survived by staying in his attic crawl space for days.
After our lunch break, we’ll head out to the Destrehan Plantation. Established in 1787, and
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it’s the oldest documented plantation home in
the lower Mississippi River Valley. Costumed guides will intrigue you with the legacy of the
Destrehan family and historic events that occurred at this site. It’s almost Mardi Gras so let’s
enjoy a little bit of pre - “Pre-Mardi Gras” with a visit to Mardi Gras World. This is literally the
place where Mardi Gras magic is made. We’ll walk among towering figures of fantasy and
marvel at the skill and technology that animate the mega-floats. Tonight there’s more free time
for you to enjoy the French Quarters. (Meals: B)

Friday, Feb 3rd - This morning, after another hearty breakfast, we’ll continue our tour by motor
