American has round-trip flights for about $200, close to Mardi Gras to boot, with the added bonus of an excellent frequent-flyer program. (American should pay me, I give them so much free advertising.) Checking on both Orbitz and Expedia the cheapest I can find is $189 round trip for 2/14-2/27 (your 10 days of vacation) on Delta routing through Atlanta on the way out and Continental routing through Houston on the way back. The layover on the trip out is too short for my comfort and the departure time on the way back (5:45 am) is waaaay too early for Pat O'Brien's the night before unless you just don't go to sleep that night, but that's a rough estimate of what you're looking at.
That close to Mardi Gras you're probably not going to do much better than that. But if we fly out on the same day and get in at about the same time, we can ask Denise to pick us up or at least split the cab fare, and hopefully Emily will get in on this too.
Geez, maybe I should be a travel agent or something. That was entirely too much fun.
