Whoa, a laptop with 16GB?  That must've costed a lot back then.  Why 16GB for a Sandy Bridge i3 laptop??

Oops, sorry forgot you on vacation now!  

Don't forget to try the muffalettas in New Orleans.  Ask a local eating out at a unique restaurant there about where the best muffaletta would be at.  Crawfish boil is crazy good as well.  There's Emeril's restaurant that serves kick ass crawfish/prawn/shrimp dishes.  Bet you never tried Okra before?  Grits?  Grits-a-yaya?  I'd kill for crawfish scampi!

Edit - I have Tegra Note 7, Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 with 4G, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" with 4G, Galaxy S3, the original S, three ZTE Awe's (3G, unlimited for only $25/mo with a grandfathered plan under Virgin Mobile (using Sprint coverage, and 3G is still plenty for a 4" smartphone that only uses 800x480 resolution which is still decent), a couple Kyocera Hydro Vibe (waterproof 4G 4.5" phones), etc..  trying to remember all of them, lol.  Kids use them on and off, sometimes they're just paperweight.  Argh.  I'm going to ditch my old Galaxy S3 as the main phone (still awesome for taking pictures) and upgrade to Galaxy Note 3/4 soon, for cheap (hate to spend too much on phones, and refuse any contract plans because if there's a MASSIVELY better phone coming out 6 months later, I want to be able to move on).

Talk to ya more when you get back.  Enjoy as much as possible and treat it like a honeymoon, lol!

I bought the 16gb of ram for something silly like $40 when the price of ram plummeted several years ago.  It only came with 6gb initially.  I like 16gb of ram, I find that it makes the computer more responsive and it makes my SSDs last a lot longer.

I didn't eat much in New Orleans.  We wound up at a local grocery store called Rouses IIRC.  We were only there for one night; they say you should always stay in a hotel the night before your cruise because your flight can get delayed (which ours did!).

We had a really nice trip.  New Orleans is a beautful city with a rich culture and very friendly people.  I was very impressed.  It was HOT there though, I have never seen heat like that, it was insane, 44C with the humidex.  The only place hotter on our trip was Belize.

We also stopped at Roatan which is a small island in Honduras and we went to Cozumel Mexico.  The beaches were very nice but the beaches in Cuba are far and away much nicer.  Now that the embargo has been partially lifted I encourage all of you to visit Cuba, it's really an amazing trip!

We're all home safely now but our cat is quite sick, I'm hoping we don't have to put her down.  She is over 20 years old.

Wow.

Thanks for the tip about Cuba!  It should be very cheap to visit, given its economic status.  I'd love to check it out.
