Dr Martin Luther King Jr Memorial - Memphis
Last Updated: Feb. 16, 2011

Memphis, and the entire south for that matter, was a hotbed of racial discord and a battleground for the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, culminating with the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968 at the downtown Loraine Motel. The hotel now stands as a memorial to the slain leader as the American Civil Rights Museum and definitely worth a visit.

The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
For ladies I would definitely recommend finding some slightly nicer than normal black flats... I bought some in Prague for super cheap and still wear them all the time!
If you visit the massive outdoor club Rio, also go next door to the 'Green Pardon' which is much cheaper, and has about 5 bars and three separate dance floors - all outside. Party till the sun rises!
