1180 Union Avenue, (formerly Hampton Inn Memphis) Memphis, Tennessee, United States, 38104, 901-276-1175
So off to Memphis it is on Northwest Airlines Flight Number 1922 at 7:45am. I had checked in the night before so all I had to do is check my bag in, pass security, and head to the gate from where the plane would depart. No troubles with any of that but I did have quite a bit of time before boarding would even begin, so I grabbed a coffee and sat at a perfect spot to people watch. It's so much fun to people watch at the airport. The flight was pretty smooth. It arrived in Memphis at around 1pm...
Memphis, Tennessee, United States elkirbsterOkay, okay, I lived in Knoxville as a kid and Nashville as an adult, but I have only been to Memphis once (while living in Nashville) for a quick trip to Graceland. When we first arrived, we tried checking into a luxury hotel downtown (as repayment for the previous night), but there was a convention. We headed out a bit and checked into a Holiday Inn just outside of downtown. We went to Graceland first. It was stupidly expensive, but I felt my husband should see it too. It WAS kind of neat to...

... step touch going on, some spins, grabbing his ankles, twirling me...he wasn't a newbie that's for sure. And then afterwards..he asked if he could draw my picture...and I let him, and he proceeded to give it to me along with his address afterward. I love crossing paths with different people.<br><br>I really enjoy being able to look into other people''s cars and into truck driver's eyes and cabs. Never had that possible before. It's ...
Memphis, Tennessee, United States ktowers86... stuff like that.<br><br>When I have checked with Rich which stories are for public consumption, I will come back with more, but, for now, that's all, and it doesn't seem to do the last fortnight justice but I have just wound up in Memphis after a 13 hour solo drive and the only thing to ponder on now is whether I sleep standing up or laying down, so for that I must apologise.<br><br>In case you're wondering, which I'm sure you're not ...
West Memphis, Arkansas, United States holliday... br> We put on our Blue Suede shoes and headed off to tour Sun Studios, the Studio that gave Elvis his recording break and has recorded hundreds of great artists including U2, Matchbox 20 and some old favorites such as Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Carl Lee Perkins. The studio is pretty amazing they have an old museum that contains original recordings and records ...
Memphis, Tennessee, United States bekandjesse... it for profit rather than ideology. <br> Later in the day we went to a museum called the Pink Palace Museum , once owned by a cotton magnate, Than by a guy who started the Piggy Wiggly grocery Chain.

Memphis, Tennessee, United States rogersusieqToday we were in Mephis, spent the morning touring Graceland where Elvis lived, They allow you to take pics inside so took lots.

Memphis, Tennessee, United States rogersusieqGreg's Version:<br><br>After living in a hotel for six days the packing all those dirty clothes were a challenge to get to the car but we did it. Breakfast was the free bagels and donuts at the hotel that we had avoided the entire time. (Yes, I do believe that Waffle House food is more healthy than the hotel food.)<br><br>After one last trip to the laundry we had breakfast at Judy's Castle a place we learned about from Judy’s husband ...
Memphis, Tennessee, United States greg-mary-scott... At the Peabody Hotel, comparable to the Jefferson in Richmond, the ducks have marched to and from the lobby fountain on a red carpet in time with the John Phillips Sousa march following the Duckmaster for 76 years. Hundreds of tourists gather each day at 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to observe the time-honored tradition. The drinks in the lobby bar are expensive to subsidize the entertainment. Our impression of Memphis: very ...
Memphis, Tennessee, United States lstoneham... Everyone had different flight schedules depending on where they were flying back to. My flight was scheduled until around 7pm, so Robin and I went to the Peabody and an early dinner at Pa Pa Pia's. Our flight back was smooth except for the last 20 minutes or so where we experienced turbulence. It was probably the most turbulence I have experienced on a flight. Now: Now I am working on a small presentation for work on the trip :)
