    Where should I fly?

    Jekyll Island fits the criteria. Good restaurants, a small historic district, very friendly to pilots.

    My wife wants me to take her to New Orleans

    NOLA is a great town. We've been often. I don't post often but this trip is one of our favorites. 1st off, Lakefront is great. FBO "Flight First" treats us as good as anyone, anywhere. Affordable and accommodating. Parking an airplane here is cheaper than parking a car in the Quarter, so...

    KPNE information please
