Planning for our upcoming trip to New Orleans ...

is underway (and still incomplete).

We're going to park (for FREE!) at the new Parking Corporation of America lot off Doolitle Drive. It is closest lot to our home in Alameda.

We'll fly non-stop from Oakland, CA to New Orleans, LA on Southwest Airlines flight #816 (departs at 7:10 a.m., arrives at 1:15 p.m.)

We've got a room booked at the Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans-Convention Center.

I'll be attending the Cisco Networkers '04 conference at the Morial Convention Center.

Chris will be doing some genealogical research when she's not on the hunt for quilt shops.

After the conference, we are going to rent a car from *unknown* and then drive to Houston, TX to visit with Brendan (in the middle) and Natalya.

While in Houston, we may be staying at the La Quinta Inns - Cy Fair.

After the visit, we'll drive back to New Orleans to return the rental car to *unknown* and fly home.

We'll fly non-stop from New Orleans, LA to Oakland, CA on Southwest Airlines flight #1209 (departs at 6:40 p.m., arrives at 9:05 p.m.)
