To the OT, for Labor day weekend and the week after, my family and I will be heading to Grand Ilse. How bad is the traffic usually during Labor day wkd? We will be going to New Orleans one day, but not during the weekend. Any ticket traps I should know about or bad traffic? Will be coming down I-65 in AL and hitting I-10 probably.

pretty sure this is derived from Latin for "speed trap"...

Not bad at all. Its Grand Isle, not Orange Beach of 30/A.

See above. When the speed limit on the 4 lane behind Golden Meadow drops to 50...drive 47.

Got a ticket this summer. It had been several years. I was driving someone else's car and didn't set the cruise control.

I was really pissed at myself.

I'll be down there also. Trout fishing will be poo, but redfish should be everywhere and the crabs may still be running.

Like said earlier, DONT SPEED thru Golden Meadow!

It was relaxing and beer drinking, what we needed. Nothing like the stress of finals and a wedding within two weeks.
