Doug, feel free to PM me; I may be able to help you. I live in New Orleans and I'm from a small town in South Louisiana. Right off the bat I'd recommend you take Hwy 90 West to Lafayette. Lots of small towns, bayous, etc. along the way and you'll end up in the best place to hear Cajun music. South of Lafayette is Abbeville, very picturesque. One thing to take note of is that New Orleans is not in the South. We're more like the northern-most outpost of the Caribbean.
Think of some things you'd like to do or see and I'll do my best to help you out.
