You'll be in the center of it Feb. 7-14, during the 12
days preceding Mardi Gras, more than 60 parades and hundreds
of private parties, dances and masked balls are annually
scheduled in the metro area. Fat Tuesday is a legal holiday in
New Orleans, a day when half the town turns out in costume to
watch the other half parade! You'll be there to experience the
height of the fun with this seven-day trip to New Orleans.
On the way,
you'll enjoy the scenery from the platform, two gourmet
dinners, lunch and breakfast. All rooms have a private shower
and comfortable beds. Once in New Orleans a continental
breakfast will be served daily as will snacks and beverages in
the evening.
The French
Quarter and all the festivities are only a short taxi ride
away.
On the return trip, you'll be treated to breakfast two days as well as lunch
and dinner. You can be assured of first class service and
accommodations for a Mardi Gras experience like no other.
The journey begins from Washington DC on February
7 with stops in Charlotte, Atlanta and Birmingham,

February 13 returning to Washington on the 14th.
