Our AMA team took some free time to walk around downtown New Orleans, trying local foods at local restaurants. Some of the local foods experienced were, muffuelata, beignets, grits, frog legs, gumbo and jambalaya. They walked along the riverfront of the Mississippi River, and were able to visit the French Quarter.
The team experienced some difficulties on their return to Idaho with delays totaling 24 hours; three flight changes, two airport changes in Louisiana, a taxi ride from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, two hotel changes, and an overnight in Houston, Texas. The journey home ended up being a fun adventure a great bonding experience.
