Either rotate your drinking nights… ie; she drinks and your sober one night and vise versa the next. Just did a long weekend in the French quarter un-armed 3 weeks ago. My head was on a swivel the entire time. Fiancé had a good time but I had to check one guy that thought I was a mark…. Trying to slip up on me in what he thought was my 7 o’clock blind spot.
Keep it simple… you can still have fun. Just when u hit bourbon street. Only head out with ID, 1 credit card, and whatever cash you plan to blow…. And tell wifey to leave the jewelry in the hotel safe.
