Graceland - Memphis

Although Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, he made his home at the Graceland estate in Memphis for most of his adult life.
Over 4 million fans make the pilgrimage every year to the home and final resting place of the King of Rock and Roll, and even those visitors who aren’t fans tend to walk away with an insight into the life of a true superstar that leaves an unforgettable impression.

Some other suggestions, although not necessary - Travel pillow, chewing gum (especially for those who have ear problems during flight), book and/or ipod and one change of clothing (air lines do lose luggage occasionally)
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
My best advice is to step outside your comfort zone and make an effort to talk to EVERYONE on tour. I made friends from 6 continents on the one tour!!!
