Re: Sleeping in the Rio parking lot in my car?
This thread reminded me of being in New Orleans for 4th of July in the mid 90's. It was a spur of the moment trip as my regular 4th of July plans fell through so I ended up driving 12 hours to New Orleans just because I had never been there and I knew I could gamble there.
Every hotel was booked or super expensive. I was extremely tired at 3AM after not having slept for a day and a half since I drove through the night the previous day. My car was really too small to sleep in. There is a park on the banks of the Mississippi river and every bench was taken by homeless. I ended up curling up next to a tree with about $1,500 stuffed in my shoes and a $22 in my pocket to give to whoever ended up mugging me. Oh the good ole days.
