Another Jazz Festival …
Posted on 27 May 2009 by k. a. gardner
Jacksonville Jazz Festival 2009 ended May 24 to much acclaim. For those wishing to keep the momentum, there’s “Plenty to do at the Vieux -To-Do“ in New Orleans June 13 – 14.
A "Vieux" from the Vieux Carre .
The 2nd annual Vieux-To-Do festival (actually, three festivals in one) is held in the French Quarter, on the banks of the Mississippi river. Plenty of Cajun-Creole cooking and Louisiana Seafood!
FREE music on two stages -
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation
is coordinating the entertainment.
Although Express Jet no longer flies directly out of Jacksonville International Airport to New Orleans, it is possible to charter a flight direct!
Of course, it might easier to connect through (annoying) Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.
Who thinks JIA needs more DIRECT destination flights?

Why would an airline stop service to New Orleans? Can’t they just leave from Ft. Walton Beach or Pensacola?
Looks like fun, except for the (truly) annoying airport part. We would drive. But the closest I’ve been is Mobile, a poor man’s New Orleans.
w. ~ I’ve never been to Mobile. I did read, though, that Wintzell’s downtown is a great place for fried, stewed, or nude oysters.
Why? Because MCO is a bully. Eglin is not a tourist destination.
