... way down. But since we weren't thrilled with that place, I canceled the reservation and booked a room at the Holiday Inn University in Memphis -- $139 with full breakfast buffet. It was about 12:30 when we got to the Holiday Inn University because ...

... . It was maybe about 100 degrees which is not a big deal since I am used to the heat in Phoenix, the difference is Memphis' extreme humidity. Traveling in a long sleeve not a good idea. Good thing my flight wear top was the only long sleeve item I took, ...

... boys. The boys played on a playground for a few minutes and dipped their toes in the Mississippi again. Checking in at the Holiday Inn Express in Vicksburg, we were given a goodie bag, with snacks, an apple and the front desk lady got an extra bottle ...

Arrived in Memphis at 10:00pm after an 11 hour drive. On a map it doesn't look far until you SatNav it, which is really accurate. The Satnav has been fantastic as it takes the pressure off looking at a map. The Journey was really good. Driving into ...

... 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 ...

6/9 On to Memphis - John lived here for some time so was quite familiar with the place. We went for a drink at the ultra expensive Peabody Hotel - very plush - we asked about the price of a room, but much too expensive!! The very strange claim to fame ...

... to the bone. We trudged back; weak, tired, and hungry. Had some fun over at a local pizza joint, then got on the bus to Memphis around 1:30am.  I hope load-in will go even better than load-out did. It is my first time, so I still have a lot to ...

... for the afternoon. Chelsea and I went to see Memphis on Broadway while Mark and Nathan went to the King Tut exhibition. Chelsea MEMPHIS!! What a show! The dancing and singing was excellent as well as the acting. The story was set in the 1950's when ...

My buddy Stein set me up at a Holiday inn, or something (I don't remember) right in the city. It was close to the interstate, so no complications with the big truck. I checked in roughly 16 hours after I departed Memphis. I think I may have made ...

... up to was closed, quite possibly because most of its windows had been blown out! Then we came to the trusty old Holiday Inn. We walked inside and, with little hope of a positive response, told the receptionist that we were desperately searching for the ...

... made a stop in Sallisaw Ok. to see Kerry's aunt and had a nice but short visit.  We found our hotel, Holiday Inn, without too many slip-ups.  Our borrowed GPA (nicknamed "Miss Priss" by her owner) is mostly working out ...

... a bit longer than I expected, but enjoyed every minute.   I then pulled myself away and drove towards Memphis, passing through Augusta and Atlanta, GA and Birmingham, AL, crossing over my first time zone at some point.  I ate ...

... out there with horses and hot rods; too cool.  Spent a few hours there and then headed over  here to the East side of Memphis for the final Memphis Mob blowout party.  Getting ready to head out in half an hour, so I'll check back in ...

... Hauler's ceremony on the USS Alabama (really excited) and then take to the road by noon. We're going to stop over in Memphis tomorrow night and head home Sunday morning. It's been a long drive, but again, adventure has been around every corner and that's ...
