Memphis Travel Blogs

Today was our day in Memphis, and we ended up doing even more than first planned. Not so much that it was really noticeable but it gave our mileage a boost. I didn’t tell you about an adventure we had a few days back but that time we made a wrong turn and ended up going more or less around in cir…

We weren’t through with Memphis. Even though we would be heading out tomorrow morning, we still had one more piece of business. I had booked us on a dinner cruise on the Memphis Belle III.  We had about two hours until we were supposed to be at the dock, so Mom and Margo decided to run to th…

I was pretty excited to be going to the South for the first time and was even more excited that I would be hitting 3 states in total.  My friend Noah had decided to fly into Little Rock as it was the cheapest flight around and from there we would take a rental car and drive immediately to Memp…

Just to take a couple-day respite, I went to Memphis, Tennesee with a couple travel buddies.  It's just a four-hour drive from our home in Southern Illinois, so we were able to pack in quite a bit in during our two-day trip. Leaving bright and early Wednesday morning, we arrived in Memphis ab…

A group of us decided to take a drive into Graceland to visit the home of Elvis. The tour started at the mansion and we were guided through various rooms and it felt like we had stepped into the past. Each room was unique and gave you some insight as to who Elvis was and as we moved from room to ro…

It was a secret fantasy I thought would never come true. But i found myself so close to Elvis..i had to visit his home. I felt a knot in my stomach as soon as I crossed into Memphis and I could not wait till the next day, when I would drive down Elvis Presley Blvd and into Graceland. It was a rainy…

Leaving Nashville was a bit hellish, as we were caught in a torrential downpour for about an hour. It's terrible sharing the two-lane highway with tens of tractor trailers and SUVs, trying to navigate around them while struggling to look out the window with the rain all around. George, however, is …

    Memphis, Tennessee!  It was a pleasure!  It was a little scary getting there as there had been major flood and tornado warnings, but it didn’t stop me from going and both my friend and I lived to tell, bonus!   There we saw the Duck Walk, (twice!), ate fine Cajun …

I lived in Memphis for three years while attending MCA for my BFA in printmaking and art history.During those years i had a million plus adventures through out the city and learned more about myself then i did about art! :P:P I loved this Mid Southern city!!!!! sometimes i even flirt with the idea…

Continued…….   My reason for stopping in Corinth, MS was to cross this state off my list of states I have visited. I have strict rules that govern this list. I don’t just tick the state off my list because I drove through or stopped to eat. Nope, I have to actually do something to expe…

This trip to Memphis this gal couldn't hang out cuz it was so Cold.  Memphis is the home of the blues and rock and roll.  All of the early recording studios are there; Stax, Sun, HI/Royal, and other studios, as well as the Civil Rights museum and so much more.   I us…

Before heading to London, I'll be spending seven weeks making my way across the United States from San Francisco to New York.

Yesterday was a LONG day with much activity.  Today was ALL driving.  We left the Asheville area early morning while the air was very cool and there was still a thick low-lying fog.  "Westward Ho!" on Interstate 40.  About an hour and a half in, it was goodbye North Carolina...H…

This is shot during my time in the wonderful city of Memphis, TN at the Worlds Best BBQ Competition. Why they had a Gillette shaving tent set up at a BBQ festival is a head-scratcher; none-the-less, I took full advantage of it...got a hell of a look out of too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNQHg…
