    Where to stay in NOL & EMY

    Yes, there is taxi service in Davis. I called to check that as we get in late and really do not feel comfortable walking at midnight in unfamilar town.

    Where to stay in NOL & EMY

    Thank you all for the great suggestions. I have changed our reservation so Davis will be our overnight and turnaround point. I can't thank you enough Jim :D as this is allowing us to stay in a very inexpensive place for the night, leaving us with a bigger budget for NOLA hotel and dinner...
