Maybe you can take an airport shuttle to one of the downtown hotels?

Don't know how expensive this is

Funny.

I'll check into DT hotel shuttles. Good suggestion.

There is nothing else I'd recommend given your location and limited time here. Robyn

Thanks, Robyn. I have mixed feelings about zoos, but will consider it. The only downside will be being among all those families (read: kids!). A holiday weekend could be worse than normal. (Happened to me on a MR to MSY on Mother's Day once. Yikes.)
