Here’s one good reason to make Louisiana your next travel destination: there’s nowhere else like it in the world. Only in Louisiana can you attend the real Mardi Gras, party all night, any day of the week, watch incredible live jazz shows, get your beer and wine in a to-go cup, and drink it on the street while en route to your next destination in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans. The city, embattled by hurricane Katrina but infused with a spirit to endure, is still one of the hottest spots in the U.S. for unique culture, unique atmosphere, and most notably, unique and delicious cuisine. In fact, the entire state has something to offer. With hundreds of miles of coastline along the aqua blue Gulf of Mexico, plenty of plantations, prodigious pine forests, and serious swamplands, bogs, and bayous where you’ll find an environment like no other on the planet, its an understatement to point out this state’s diversity. So much so, that it’s divided into five distinct regions, Greater New Orleans, Plantation land, Cajun Country, Crossroads, and Sportsman’s Paradise. So whether you’re fishing for catfish, eating jambalaya, drinking on Bourbon Street, frog-gigging in the bayou, or simply relaxing at a bed and breakfast surrounded by Southern charm, you’ll know one thing for sure, that you’ve chosen a great travel destination.
