Trip: 3

(Trip cut short - too much pain)

Visited from Feb 10, 2022 to Feb 17, 2022

(Group 15)

This trip was to be a nice winter trip through southern Mississippi, Louisiana and eastern Texas. Its start was delayed as I saw a neurosurgeon about back and leg pain. I probably should have stayed home completely, but was anxious to continue my trips. Unfortunately, the leg pain and weakness only got worse, and while in New Orleans, I could barely walk far enough to get food. I decided to head home early and reschedule the three missed sites into another group. I will likely revisit New Orleans as I barely enjoyed the sites (and sights) there.
