New Orleans, LA

I'm sitting in the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans patiently waiting until it is time to leave to catch my flight home. I've been in New Orleans attending the United Country Real Estate Convention and I've come away with a lot of knowledge and some new friends. I look forward to attending again next year! This convention just affirms my happiness with my decision to purchase a United Country Franchise. I love the culture at United Country! A lot of very friendly down to earth people and our management team is great. We have a very supportive, approachable, and highly qualified home office that supports their affiliates.

For those of you wanting to just visit New Orleans I have a few tips and information concerning my trip. My stay at the Sheraton on Canal Street was great! Very nice hotel rooms, great location, and a friendly staff. The Acme Oyster Bar just off of Bourbon Street was my favorite place to eat in New Orleans. The raw oysters were the freshest and best I've ever eaten! Also you must try the grilled oysters, trust me on this one, they are fantastic. Bourbon Street was quite interesting, but my favorite part of my trip down Bourbon Street last night was enjoying the music of an authentic group of Cajun musicians. I wish I knew the bands name as they deserve major props. Viewing the architecture in the French Quarter was pleasing as well. New Orleans also has one casino, Harrahs, I visited for about 1 hour and played a few hands of blackjack. Lost $70 pretty quickly, but I'm not a gambler and maybe amateurs like me should stay out of the casino. However I did enjoy walking through the casino much more than my poor attempt at actual gambling.

In conclusion I enjoyed my stay in New Orleans and will be coming home with more knowledge to serve clients in Perquimans County and the rest of Northeastern NC. However I cannot wait to get home to Hertford, NC!
