Mardi gras in New orleans!

The Mardi gras is a time when the whole city goes nuts for Bonkers, never mind who you were before the event. The one that I am talking about is none other than the 'rock all the way till you drop', by that I mean the Mardi Gras. This is one time that the whole of New Orleans seems to come alive and all of it jives along with one tune, it is sure fun to watch all the people have fun, but then again there are so many of us who would love to join in.
Now, that is a great idea but before you do that, you would have to make certain plans, for one thing is sure, come February 5th, the New Orleans will start 'jiving' with or without you.

The first thing that you should do is to naturally plan ahead and make the necessary hotel reservations, if you are planning to come over to New Orleans and you are reading this post, then you should have made the reservations ,yesterday. Almost all the hotels are fully booked for the season and if you are okay with sleeping in the park platforms, then do not bother with the reservations. This is one of those times when 'noise is golden', so this will not be the time for silent nights.

Once you reach here, there are many things that you can do, from watching the parade of costumes in the Bourbon street to shopping for beads. The beads always seem to drive everyone crazy here and everyone wants to collect as much as they can, so keep an eye out on the parades as this is where the 'beads' will be making their appearance. But you can also buy the same at many of the online shops as well.

You can even get to organize your own party sans the headache, at the Mardi gras. So if you are a college senior, in charge of hosting the Mardi gras party, this can be done , right here at New Orleans without any hassle to you personally. All the bookings will be taken care of and all you would have to do is to have some fun with your college buddies. You can also go about the King cake and see if you get anything in it.

There is just so much to do here at New Orleans at this time of the year, that I am not sure that I can put it all down here. Let us not forget the food part of it all, the food at this time of the year is just fantastic, I do not think that I have to go on about the New Orleans cuisine, but all the prawn dishes are just superlative at this time of the year. I have just listed a few of the things that you can do at this time of the year, so hope that you will have lots of fun in New Orleans as I will. So do keep an eye out for me and for those of you who want to drink all the cocktails that you can get, well, once again, this is indeed the time to party!
