We heard the stories of peoples stuff getting shipped and then things changing and their location switching so we just assumed it would happen to us! We looked at each other on the second flight stretch and were like, "This is really ... Read the Post
Since we are spending the month with our friends in Louisiana while Chad gets Airborne Ready for Italy we decided we would take a weekend to go explore New Orleans.
