beachbum6264 Posted June 5, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2008 We're driving down on I-59 and want to stop about an hour outside NOLA the night before. Anyone familiar with that area and know where to stop? What town would be our best bet? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted June 5, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Slidell should work. It is about 45 minutes away from New Orleans, on I-10. There's nothing very exciting about Slidell, but there are plenty of motels and reataurants (mostly chains) convenient to I-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
