Britbong traveling to America, looking for suggestions for things to see/do

[MadBomber]

19 hours before I fly out, any suggestions how how not to go mad during the long haul of the flight? I'm traveling with air france and then Delta... which I have not heard good things about.

I live in Louisiana. You'll be here for 2 weeks?

Food: Raisin Canes (best fast-food chicken fingers)
Boiled Crawfish (have a local to show you how to eat them. Don't forget to suck the heads)

Activities: [url]http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/[/url] This trumps any and all other activities.

That's right, you'll be in Louisiana during Mardi Gras. Get your ass over to Burbon Street and get wasted with the rest of us. Just make sure to only carry the necessary valuables, and watch where you step.

Downtown Baton Rouge is fun too if you're 21.
