Over the last few months I've heard from a lot of you about New Orleans. The interest is real — and the trip is now fully live and ready to book. Here's what we've got: The trip: November 12–15, 2026. Four days in New Orleans — the authentic version. Jazz on Frenchmen Street, Creole cooking, a Mississippi steamboat cruise, and the Garden District at a pace that actually lets you take it in. No Bourbon Street chaos. No tour buses. No eating alone. The hotel: Boutique lodging steps from the French Quarter at the historic Eliza Jane hotel. Budget-friendly option also available. The group: Strictly capped at 12 travelers. Small, curated, intentional. Roommate Matching: I personally match you with a compatible travel partner from our community — so you're not paying the single supplement penalty and you're not navigating a new city alone. The cost: Packages starting at $803 per person. $99 secures your spot and your roommate match. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also — our Trip Planning live event is in 7 days.
