• Baton Rouge - Cajun food, Cajun dancing, and a little bit of Huey Long thrown in for spice.

• Baton Rouge, Louisiana - A walk through Baton Rouge with a guide re-enactor to enjoy Cajun history and song in a very personal way. Today is the day full day on board the stream boat. Don stayed up almost all night to make the trip last.

• Mardi Gras, New Orleans - Now they did it! They are in the soup. Swirling humanity, unrepentant fun, food to make the taste buds dance and the spirit soar. Don't sleep, don't stop walking, stay up all night. Welcome to the mother of all parties...and the kids too!

• New Orleans - Unfortunately, New Orleans' reputation seems to be exclusively based on the mysteries and debauchery of Mardi Gras.

• Oak Alley - The most beautiful walkway of trees leading up to a historic house. Also, a different plantation in Laura Plantation.

• St. Francisville, Louisiana - Today they learn about the benefits of this cruise, more food, exploration of the boat and a little bit of history. The day is a stew of experience and they got stuffed!

• Vacherie, Louisiana - The steamboat pulls to the side of the river to deposit passengers on a both a plantation tour and a swamp tour. Bring your overcoat and watch out for alligators.
