Great pics rkc I always wanted to see NO first hand.....

[reelapeelin]

All of 'em great...but the underwater shots did it for me!...

How da food in NOLA?...

[RWilson2526]

Looks like alot of fun.....more shots drinking beer next time...that way we can be sure you are enjoying yourself.

[willy]

So did you ride the bronco RKC?

[Road King Cole]

OK, let me answer the questions.

The food at NOLA was EXPENSIVE!!!!!

That was something the wifey really wanted to do. Yes the food was pretty good, had some duck thing. I would have rather went to a dive and try crayfish. Had some great oysters for lunch.

Nope, I know better than trying to ride that bronco. When there is a female up there they do it nice and slow. Put an old fat guy and they will knock him off faster than you can say "yes I will have another hurricane". My back hurt just thinking about getting knocked off.

And not to worry, I had my share of drinks and beers!

The snorkeling at Grand Caymen was great. It was just a walk from the peer and 5$ locker fee (although the drinks there were 10 bucks apiece). If you go there, it was the Paradise bar and then snorkel out to edens rock\ devils grotto. There were a half a dozen or more tarpon hanging around the steps, not sure why the wife didn't feel then need to take a picture of those monsters:head:

Time to diet again. I want to look sexy like MJ.

great shots, looks like a good time for all. i like the bamboo v-20.
one thing i have found out about new orleans food, it's all good. but the more it looks like a dive, the better it is.

[Blue_Runner]

X2 on the underwater shots. Anybody try to feed those queen triggers by hand? Good way to lose a digit! Nice pix.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Very nice...NOLA is fun in the right places...you were in the right places. Love me some crawfish! We eat them regularly, yall dont have them up there?

[Road King Cole]

Nope, no crawfish.

I imagine they taste a little like shrimp?

I understand you are supposed to break them in half and suck out both halfs?

rkc

[Destroyer]

Nope, no crawfish.

Actually, they taste like lobster. Depending on where you are eating, they will either be hot and spicy, or plain and you dunk them in a sauce or butter. Great pics, except that I noticed that the same old drunken guy with a beard kept getting into a lot of those shots... was he following you around or something? :head: Anyways, thanks for the pics... and yes, I'm jealous. Next time take us all.....

[charlie_the_tuna]

much as i hate cruises i'm still jealous. just being on vacation. seems like 100 years ago.
my inlaws took us on a cruise in '06, my first and last. i'm not a 'sit by the pool and read' guy. i'm not a 'hot tub' guy. i'm not a 'gambling and drinking' guy.
it was like being on a floating prison. i would stand at the railing for hours and look for sea life. you never saw anybody so happy over flying fish.

[macojoe]

I am with CTT on th curz thing! Went on my frst last year and was bored out of my mind. I was also in NOL last year but I was drunk pushing my wife in a wheelchair, That was interesting!
RKC I cheated on the weight loss as I had surgery to get rid of it.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Yes more like lobster but spicy depending on how they are cooked. They peel like a lobster too. Sucking all the brains and juices out of the head is the best part to me. I even crush them while sucking to get more...its like crack! :clap:

[Road King Cole]

I am thinking that I would love them crawfishes. I really really wish I got a chance to try them.

As far as cruises go, I definitely like the days you pull into a port better than the "fun days at sea". But I am OK in a lounger by the pool with a bucket of beer. :hi:

And yes, MJ, I remember how\why you lost the weight, however, it is still amazing.
