I was browsing the New Orleans boards and discovered that a popluar NYC forum participant, livetotravel, has gone beyond donating money to Katrina victims - she is helping organize a clothing drive in Atlanta, GA. Amazing!

Of, if that link doesn%26#39;t work:

What%26#39;s also amazing is the weird, divisive, ';blue-vs-red'; venting and ranting on the New Orleans board - mostly from east coast people (new yorkers and new jerseyites) and Europeans - with a couple of folks from CA and CO thrown in. There%26#39;s 1 or 2 posters from NOLA itself. Amazing that they are taking the time to post on the Trip Advisor forum!
Anyway, skip the vitriol and hyperbole and send a shout-out to livetotravel!!

Yes I have been posting travel info updates I am getting since I am in the travel business, and no one seems to care about those posts! There are some very hateful people over there at the moment.

I know. I stopped reading that forum. Pardon my Cajun French, but WTF?
Thank you posting travel updates.
We could have gone to NOLA in July, but things got screwy at work and I couldn%26#39;t go. Now we want to go visit the first chance we%26#39;re able. Hopefully next year?
QB - thanks for your kind words, again ;-)
I just want to publicly thank all my other cyber friends here that wished me good tidings...
Bettina, Brooklynnite, NYwhiz, NYCgirl, penguin1977, NYC10025, Ange, Daisegee, Lig1006, NYYankeefan, DollyLevy, Tastebud, notopsebring, ansky, calicocat and others - your comments meant the world to me.
Your support warmed my soul!
I did what I did because I could and because I have a wife, friends and an employer that fully support such activities.
And QB, I%26#39;m a he not a she ;-) but I appreciate the compliment ;-)
There are the most disturbing and hateful race and class comments being made on the NOLA Forum - I%26#39;m outta there for good.
It%26#39;s great to be back in NYC and here on this forum.
LTT...well done on all you did. You may not think it%26#39;s much, but it will help so many people. I am in awe!
QueensBlvd,
Funny WTF! LOL
I have a trip planned in Feb 06, which I guess will have to be rescheduled too. Just waiting for the airlines to figure things out so I can cancel!
What part of queens are you from? I grew up in Glendale.

Hey livetotravel you forgot me......I was your NY friend over at NO boards! LOL
I just stopped by over here to visit!
Deb
Seek, Seek, forgive me - I was trying to be so good with remembering all the names ;-)
You were there during some pretty dark cyber-attacks - thanks again for your support.
Are you still posting on NOLA?
