Ohio to New Orleans to Texas to Grand Canyon etc

Do some research on the Natchez Trace if you have never done that. I hope you don't have children with you. Never been to New Orleans? The French Quarter was interesting to say the least. If you are offended by scantily clad girls then stay away from the west end of Bourbon street. Its mostly adult entertainment places. Lots of homeless and beggars around the whole area. Now the outlying areas are OK. Lots of old plantations to tour. The Garden District. Its a busy city though. Lots of traffic.
