After a lot of questions on these fora I have firmed up a program and I would request all Orleanites to give it a onceover....After B/fast in hotel take a cab to the start of St Charles streetcar riding it to and fro.Get down finally on Canal Street walk over to the Hannas Casino to enjoy the scene.I am no gambler.Walk over to the terminus of riverside streetcar and ride it to the other end and back to the Ferry Station. Cross over to the Algiers and back to see the scene across Mississippi after Isaac's visit. Back on main land and start the FQ extravaganza until legs give way. cab to hotel and sleep.
Any suggestions please?

Sounds fine, especially for a streetcar fan like me, but you don't mention either the French Quarter or the parts of the Garden District that you cannot see from the streetcar.
If you look at the architecture, even on Bourbon Street, rather than the stripteasers and t-shirt shops, the French Quarter is a fantastically interesting place. In many ways, it is as much or more Spanish as it is French. The architect Andres Zuany has characterized the city as the "northernmost city in the Caribbean", and that struck home with me. It explains a lot.
Be sure to take Fodors' suggestion above and visit all the attractions of Puerta Vallarta while in New Orleans! LOL
My first stop would be to Cafe du Monde. I'd spend the morning wandering around the French Quarter. I'd wait until afternoon to ride the trolley out to the Garden District. I'd stop on the way back, walk to Magazine Street and get a macaron or gelato at Sucre. That's how I'd spend one day in NOLA.
