Leandra has become a good friend over the years, and I can't think of anyone who works harder to keep things going. When she's not at Orient, she's running "Mom's", her restaurant in the French Quarter. Not only did we miss our yearly trip this year (today would have been 'hump day' for our 2 weeks), but we also missed seeing Leandra! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> Maybe by next Spring, Orient will have some of it's character back!
