   8:30am

Today is the remainder of my voyage homeward. Approximately 5 hours left to drive, I can handle that with ease. Along the way there are no potential sights, just pit stops, and food breaks. Knowing my trip and vacation are coming to an end really stinks. I had such a great time in Memphis; it is hard to let it go. I do look forward to ( Read more... )

9:00am

Up early after a good nights resting. The evening went well aside from the morons at the Taco Bell near the hotel. Apparently KY people might suffer from more inbreeding then those in TN, they are just sooo damn stupid and slow. But anyways the agenda for today is check out and hit the caves nearby, then continue on the way home. I do want to ( Read more... )

8:00am

It’s not going to be easy leaving Memphis today. This city and it’s people have grown on me so much. Although the non stop kindness is still very strange to me, and slightly overwhelming, I will miss that as well. Beale St. last night truly showed me just how much I love this city and everything about it. Sorry Chicago but Memphis TN has ( Read more... )

11:20am

Slept in a bit this morning, it was good to get some extra sleep time in. Woke up and watched some TV. I think maybe around 1 or 2 I will head downtown. Didn’t make it down there last night, just didn’t feel much like leaving the room after I got back here. That sun really drains you down here in the south. I think I’m slowly understanding ( Read more... )

8:00am

After a good nights rest I am ready for another fun filled day of adventure here in Memphis. I found out yesterday that Memphis shot off it’s fireworks on Saturday, while I was still in Nashville. But the baseball park will be shooting off fireworks this evening after the game. Today’s agenda is a simple one, Graceland, Elvis’ teenage home, ( Read more... )

9:30am

Today I have a set of sight seeing in mind. Hoping to actually see Beale St., and hopefully even Graceland. Reading a few brochures I see that Memphis has a Gibson guitar factory that you can tour, I might have to do that as well.

Beale St.;

Arrived down at Beale St before anything had really opened up. This gave me a great opportunity to ( Read more... )

7:45am

Today’s agenda is a simple one; check out of the hotel in Nashville, see the Parthenon, head to Memphis. Once arriving in Memphis I might try to check out some of the sights right away. Will have to see how the trip goes. Being the last day in Nashville this will be the final chance to get pictures of anything I want to have to remember. I ( Read more... )

8:30 am

So this morning after a shower and typing up the prior days events I have an itinerary for today’s events. Hopefully I am able to successfully, and better, navigate the city today and see all the sights which I have planned for the day.

Stingray Reef;

Started the day by heading out by The Grand Ole Opry, most of the sites I wanted to see are ( Read more... )

Most of the day was spent traveling down to Nashville. Woke up at 2 am and departed Wisconsin around 2:45 am. The drive through Indiana seemed to take forever, apparently the crow lies and there isn’t anything more then corn in Indiana. Well correction there are some insane drivers in Indiana. They don’t seem to understand there are two lanes or ( Read more... )
