<p>Part 1 - Chicago to Jackson, TN <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qhlw84z" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/qhlw84z</a><br/>Part 2 - Jackson TN to Baton Rouge LA <a href="http://tinyurl.com/nwu8vyy" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/nwu8vyy</a><br/>Part 3 - Baton Rouge LA to New Orleans MS <a href="http://tinyurl.com/p36tpjj" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/p36tpjj</a><br/><br/></p>

Prepare for rain. Lots of rain. Bring plenty of mosquito repellent. That's all I know.
