I travelled to America with my Boyfriend 2 years ago and went to Memphis, we spent alot of time on Amtrack and by the time we got to Memphis I had a cold, I have gotten fleas of one of the trains and I was sleep deprived so wasn't well at all.
BUT We went to Sun Studio the main reason for going, and thought it was amazing, Saw the music of Elvis in a whole new light and not as this commercialised person whose songs are always being remixed in to club songs.
At the end of the tour guide thow I had to dash to the toilet and be sick as I was spinning out. But hey Can only be a limited amount of people who have said theve been sick in sun studio right? :)
It was a fantastic experince, We really wanted to go to graceland but I really wasn't well enough.
We did find our selves on Beale st though which was awesome!
Loved memphis and would have loved to have seen more of tennessee! Maybe another time

I went to Memphis with my husband and 19 yr old niece about a month ago. What a fantastic trip. We too went to Sun Studio (loved it). Also went to Graceland, The Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Stax Museum, and The Museum of Civil Rights (an extremely moving experience). We also did Beale St and had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe there. Awesome trip that I would recommend to anyone!
