My first choice would also be New Orleans. I think October is still too hurricane risky for anything on the east coast. How's the weath in Nov, Dec, and Jan?

Malka, why don't you find out what the off season dates are in New Orleans and the possible hotel rates so planners have a starting point to compare to other locations.
