We landed at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in the big easy late on Friday but there was still enough sunlight to see the devastation from the air, especially all the blue tarp on the roof. It got worse went Kaitlin picked us up and took us along I-10 east to Biloxi. Rubbles were everywhere. All the houses in the neighborhoods along the highway were just empty, dead silence with no movement of life whatsoever. Looked like a scene from a movie, so unreal. We had all the seafood we wanted once we got to Kaitlin's house. I stayed at the hotel The Isle of Capri with Hoan and had a pretty good night sleep.
We were at the Ocean Springs Civic Center on Saturday around 9:00 am to help decorating it. The wedding ceremony took place at Kaitlin's house at 2:00 pm followed by the reception at 6:00 pm at the Civic Center. Afterward, we headed over to Henry's house in Biloxi for the night. We had more food: crawfishes and great steaks, and hung out and talked late into the night.
Sunday morning, I, Teresa and Dan Thu went to church. We then went back to Kaitlin's house for lunch before we dropped Dan Thu off at the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. We headed to New Orleans, dropped off one more friend so he could catch an early flight out of there, went for dinner with Kaitlin and then Kaitlin dropped us off at the airport for our early evening flight back to Dallas.
