I really want to visit New Orleans. Not out of some morbid interest following Katrina, just that I've always been totally fascinated by it from being a kid. I bought a lonely planet guide to it the other day and the woman in the shop asked me if I was an aid worker, like I might be visiting Rwanda or something.
The thing that concerns me most about it is the crime, but I hear that since Katrina most of the traditionally really dodgy areas are pretty well deserted. I'm sort of gutted though that if I did go, it'd be like visiting the shell of a city that once was.
