I can tell you that whoever wrote in their report that the shuttle from UVF to Sandals Resort is a terribe car ride is CRAZY! I was just there this past December and found the trip from the Airport to Sandals Grande resort to be great! You get to see alot of the island and it goes by much quicker than you realize.
Current local time in New Orleans, Orleans County, Louisiana, Central Time Zone-daylight saving time change dates 2015. 05:37:49 AM, Monday 12, October 2015 CDT 24 hours.
The best time to visit New Orleans is from February to May when the weather is comfortably cool and the celebrations are in full swing. If you're not interested in Mardi Gras mania, plan to visit in December or January, when the city is calm and you don't have to worry about making hotel reservations a year in advance. To save on room rates, travel in the summer or fall.
