The View

 We were checked in to a suite facing another building. Not much of a choice for views here, as the resort was situated in between buildings. 

I don't mind people watching, though. 

 The next building is, I think, renovating, and I was wondering if that guy got a lot from his dumpster diving. 

 We also checked their rooftop. There was a vending machine and some outdoor seating too.  

 I loved those pair of big blue feet planters on their rooftop.

 I really wanted them, but I found out that they were so mahal. *sigh.

 

To NOLA

We have an annual family trip, and this year it is in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA).

We started this since 2000, when our son was a few months old. There were times that we'd just spend a week to a neighboring state, and a few times, we traveled by plane.

It'll be the second time for my daughter, Yna and son, Jason as they had a sibling-trip here back in 2023. No parents. It was an exclusive sibling only trip. 

From Baltimore/Washington International Aiport (BWI), we flew to NOLA via South West Airline.  

I don't recall traveling with this airline. It's odd that it doesn't have assigned seating. It's just like a public bus or train ride.

I don't get excited by pretzel snacks, but I was wrong with this one. This is so good. In fact, I asked Jay to order it online--- a big pack.

I also brought extra sustenance to share during the flight, a few packs of Keebler cheese crackers.

It took a little over two hours flight to NOLA. We'll meet Yna and Larry at the airport there. Their flight from New York arrives 20 minutes after ours.
