Tennessee
So the flights are now booked and the crew will be arriving in Memphis International Airport on the 2nd of June. The plan is to spend a few nights in Memphis, take in Graceland, Sun, Stax and an awful lot of booze, then slowly make our way to Nashville for the weekend of the 9th to go to the Grand Ole Opry (and Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge), and eventually back to Memphis for the flight home on the 16th. We're hoping for the holiday of a life time but have yet to make definite plans about Hotels, places of interest, etc. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Pat - did Memphis two years ago - might now be my favourite US city. Do all the things you mentioned, but also...lust after the guitars in the Gibson factory...get ribs at Rendezvous (www.hogsfly.com)...go to the civil rights museum (where MLK was assassinated)...do Beale Street both day and night...try and see Dr 'Feelgood' Potts...drive the length of McLemore Avenue (and recreate the Booker T album sleeve)...go to Tupelo to see the shack Elvis was born in...see if the Rev. Al Green is preaching at his church...so jealous man, you'll have a great time!
The boys will destroy Memphis , just a pity I wont be travelling with you guys !
