Vacation Plans – NOLA Here We Come! originally published on March 22, 2017 by sandyaxelrod Leave a Comment (Edit)

Vacation Plans – NOLA Here We Come!

Anyone who knows Steve and I knows that New Orleans is our absolutely favorite vacation destination. So when we were discussing how to celebrate our 48th Wedding Anniversary and my birthday the first words out of my mouth were “Let’s go to New Orleans!!!” So our trip is set and Vacation Plans – NOLA here we come!

Woof!

Since we are driving we will be spending the first night of our vacation in Mobile, Alabama and then continuing in the morning to our beloved NOLA. Our first stop, before even checking in to our suite at Avenue Plaza in the Garden District, will be for Po’ Boys at Domilise’s. And we know just what we are ordering. We will share an Oyster Po’ Boy and a Spicy Sausage Po’ Boy. Both fully dressed of course. Which means the works. There is only one other place on earth that we must make our first stop upon arriving and that is the White House Sub Shop in Atlantic City. Both places have a similar vibe and both deliver high octane flavor and great bread with their sandwiches. Thank goodness we can go to the White House at the end of August because it has been far too long since we have been either place.
