Thursday 3 October – make your own way to one of the hotels in Lake Charles, LA. We are booked into Golden Nugget for the night at a cost of $152 plus taxes. This was a AAA rate for those who have AAA. We will meet in front of the Golden Nugget Hotel at 0830/ 9am Friday morning.
Friday 4 October – plan to depart Golden Nugget at 0830/9am and head towards Baton Rouge then a scenic drive into New Orleans along Plantation Alley/ the Mississippi River.
Friday 4 and Saturday 5 October – overnight in the New Orleans Garden District at St Charles Inn, 3636 St Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115. Kevin has negotiated a group rate which includes continental breakfast and free parking of $210 per room/per night + tax. To book, please call the hotel on 504-899-8888 and let them know you are part of the Gulf Coast Fiats Group. There are 15 rooms available for the two nights for our group. The group block will be held until 1 September so book this month if you want to come. Hotel is an easy tram ride into the French Quarter and there are also some fabulous restaurants in the Garden District.
Saturday - free for everyone to do as you wish in New Orleans – perhaps a drink in the Carousel bar at Hotel Monteleone, visit the World War 2 Museum, wander around the Garden District or French Quarter, listen to some jazz or take a paddleboat down the Mississippi… The choice is yours. Possibility of group dinner Saturday night – will be able to confirm once we have a better idea of numbers and interest.
