“let the good times roll!” From the Delta to the Bayou and all places in between, the eclectic state of Louisiana is the embodiment of diversity; making it the perfect place for the fun-loving adventurer who is overdue for entertainment, fabulous food, and nonstop festivities. Enjoy the sweet, melodic, southern drawls that make talking with the locals a delight, and indulge in some of the best Cajun cuisine in the land. Of course, a “crawl” through Louisiana would not be complete without some time in New Orleans. We end with a walking tour of the French Quarter and farewell lunch overlooking Lake Pontchartrain.
