World Cafe Travel Adventure - New Orleans

"My husband and I can't say enough good things about our travel experience to New Orleans with WXPN. We enjoyed our fellow travelers as well as the company of some of the XPN staff and talent. Of course the music,the music ,the music was the highlight of the trip. David, Roger and Kim directed us to bands and music venues we would have never ventured into by ourselves. We cannot wait until we can join XPN on another adventure." ~ Susan Papp Mlodzienski
