How We Vacationed To New Orleans on a Budget

A classic muscle car, some change, and the open the road is how we landed in New Orleans!

It was 2010, we had a 88 Camaro, the open road, a full tank of gas and $750 dollars to our name. So, what did two 19 year olds do??? We went The Big Easy! With 1,500 miles separating us from Nola, Brielle, and I naturally loaded up on snacks and sugary drink (bad idea but hey we were 19). After 30 straight hours of driving, Lots of soda, and snickers we were beat and dying for a bed. Nonetheless, we intended to enjoy ourselves and see some sights. We rested just 4 hours and hit New Orleans, running. Slammer @ Slims
