MH trip to Keys & New Orlean lessons

Thanks for the update, have not been to either place in a while. First went to the keys in 1955, it was very remote and not many people. went diving there when I got out of the Navy in 1971. Live in Miami for about a year. It was still very nice, acres and acres of stag horn coral very nice. By the 1990's the coral was all brown and dying. Loo Key sanctuary was still nice into the 2000's. I would not go back today. Have not been to NO in 20 years but the few times we went there they used to wash the streets and sidewalks every morning to remove the trash and stuff. I liked Preservation Hall with the 90 year old Jazz musicians . Also liked the craw fish at Lake Pontchatrain. Things change over time but the NP's are still nice except more crowded that 40 years ago.
