New Orleans, Louisiana

Sleep while you can because once you land in New Orleans, the party will never stop. Expect colourful parades, all-night festivals, outrageous costumes and all that jazz… which, incidentally, includes sultry jazzy nights.

You’ll need fuel for all that merrymaking, so try to squeeze in the traditional grub “N’awlins” is famous for: we’re talking jambalaya, gumbo and crawfish étouffée. Then take a ghost tour through the haunted French Quarter. See, even the dead don’t sleep in New Orleans.
