Thanks again for the help.
We paid $28 each way for a cab for 2 people. The airport shuttle charges $13 per person each way.
Some other suggestions -
Take a boat tour of the swamp areas but skip the river jazz cruise.
Eat at Commander's Palace - have turtle soup and bread pudding souffle.
Have cafe au lait and beignets at Cafe du Monde.
Take the free ferry across the river to the island community of Algiers.
Take a cemetery tour.
Check out public transportation instead of a car, unless you plan to drive outside of the city. There are three major streetcar routes that take you to most of the places you can't walk to.
