A couple of weeks go, I looked into my "crystal ball", and decided that this weekend would make a pretty decent one for a quick trip. I figured that work would start finally getting crazy in November, and I was doing pretty well saving some cash in anticipation of my impending car purchase. So that, combined with the fact that Justin and Sarah just had their first baby, conspired to cause me to book a quick trip up to Seattle.

Everything was well and good, until Monday, when somehow (some way), Sara managed to win a contest from Q101, which included a free trip to New Orleans, and a chance to meet My Chemical Romance. So, after Sara did some of her best convincing (and the new job rolled over and gave me a day off), it looks like I'm going to be going to New Orleans for another quick trip, next weekend.

That is two trips in the span of a week, which I think is a lot. But still, I've never been to New Orleans before, and I've engineered my flight that for only a little extra money, I get a lot of extra time in New Orleans for sight-seeing (can you believe that there are already dozens of Hurricane Katrina tours?!?!), etc.

Hopefully, I'll stop being lazy with the pictures, and actually take and post some after these trips.
