Boy, yesterday was a long day! We were up at just after 5 to get ready for the taxi to the airport. Luckily we had packed the night before. The plane was packed and the flight to NY seemed awfully long. When we eventually got there, instead of making our way to our hotel (as I’m used to) we had to hang around a couple of hours and catch another flight down to Memphis. It was a shorter flight and a much smaller plane, Maria kept joking that she was occupying the seat of the rear gunner ( I didn’t know she goes all the way back to WW2!).
We eventually landed in Memphis at 6.00pm local time, that’s MIDNIGHT UK time. It took ages for our luggage to come through and then for the hotel bus to arrive. They drive like maniacs!! Maria had talked about perhaps hiring a car, I think I’ll try to dissuade her.
The hotel is OK (for a Holiday Inn) but I’m looking forward to moving to the Peabody on Tuesday.
We had thought of going for a barbecue at Rendezvous ( just around the corner) but when we saw they were queuing in the street we settled for the hotel bar instead. Maria and John had a club sandwich containing cheese, turkey, different cheese, ham, bacon, lettuce and tomato (oh and possibly some bread, it was hard to tell) and I chilled out with my favourite beer.
 
A nice bit of live music finished the evening off nicely.
Today we have a tour of Graceland booked and possibly a cruise down the Mississippi. (Maria then wants to finish off with a baseball game?)
