Elvis' Graceland Mansion - Memphis Tennessee

Graceland - Memphis Tennessee

Located just south of downtown Memphis Tennessee about a mile off Interstate 55 south, Elvis Presley’s Graceland Mansion draws thousands of tourists, fans and people of all works of life. Each wishing to pay their respects to a music legend who has been gone since the late 70’s.

Shell out $28.00 a head and you’ll have access to view the downstairs, basement, office and racquetball court. It’s still amazing that mourners still leave flowers, plaques and other memorabilia at the gravesite. Pay a few dollars more and you can tour the car museum or walk through Elvis’ or Lisa Marie’s airplanes which are also on site.

It takes about 90 minutes to take the tour, so if you are or were a fan of the “King of Rock and Roll”, a visit to Graceland is a must see.

St. Patrick's Day in Savannah Georgia

What the Mardi Gras celebration is to New Orleans, St. Patrick’s Day is to Savannah. Thousands and thousands of people from around the world head to Savannah for a weeks long celebration ending ultimately in a day long celebration on March 17^th, best known as St. Patrick’s Day. The streets are blocked, traffic comes to a stand-still and for hours on end a parade full of bagpipers, floats and military bands meanders throughout the historic and mid-town district of Savannah. 

Once the parade comes to an end, everyone heads to River Street. Be sure to pick up your orange wristband, that way you can carry the adult beverage of choice in the streets without being bothered by local law enforcement.

Almost anything you want to do is down on River Street. The kids get to ride and bounce on air slides, get flung into the air by giant slingshots and can test their climbing skills on the wall of rocks.

And for the adults and oh those adults, dressed in bazaar outfits, dance, drink and party long into the morning hours.   

If you ever get the chance, head for Savannah Georgia and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at one of the country’s best locations.
