We actually did that about 4 years ago. It was a blast. I went to school at Southern Miss and she's from Metarie, but it's amazing the things you don't do when you live close to such a city. It was great to walk around like tourists for 5 days, without kids. K Paul's was awesome too. Was also nice that we actually had money to spend (in college, focused on eating as cheaply as possible so as to buy as many pints as possible at O'Flaherty's). That said, there's currently no chance of getting her to go on vacation with me when I can't get her to agree to let me take her out for dinner or join me for a dance lesson.
Hopefully, we'll get to that point again. I hope to take a vacation with her next summer, that's one of my long range goals. Two options -- a sausage eating/beer drinking trip across Germany or a return visit to the French Quarter. I'm just trying to do what I can to make that a possibility.
Oh, and if you ever go back, the gumbo at Olivier's is the best I've ever had. Even better than mine, and I make a mean gumbo.
