Saturday, February 22, 2014 - New Orleans - Super Krewe Orpheus Open House, Krewe Sparta & Pygmalion parades Bens porter paced the entire length of the baggage claim area (or so he thought) several times not knowing which carousel was which until he finally found the separate area for Delta. He let out a sigh of relieve to see his bag was still there among one of the last few bags left. They exited the terminal looking for transportation into town and quickly ducked back inside after balking at the cost of the $33 one way taxi fare. So our frugal figurine went to the Airport Shuttle kiosk and bought a round trip ticket for $38. The shuttle operator was great and gave us hints and tips about New Orleans as he drove us into town, having to make several detours and coordinating with the owner/dispatcher to negotiate around blocked streets and parade routes. Bens butler checked-into the hotel and rushed to his room to dropped off his luggage and headed quickly back out. A friendly Cruise Critic member BigEasyCC had posted that Super Krewe Orpheus was having an Open House and Ben made a made dash to the Convention Center before it was over. Our wide eyed explorer had a wonderful time viewing the floats up close and enjoying the music, so much so, that he didnt notice his assistant was taking advantage free beverages being served by the different float crews. Ben nervously left the convention center on the shoulders of his buzzed butler. A few blocks away, they ran into more floats staging for a parade, and then stumbled into another parade in progress. Later that evening our elated elastic adventure attended the Krewe Sparta and Krewe Pygmalion parade, having a blast waving and jumping up and down for beads and throws.
