The Volunteer State is a proud state and the home of Elvis. Mostly rolling hills and farmlands fill this state and it is the home of the two well known cities of Memphis and Nashville.  To the east it shares a border with North Carolina and the Great Smokey Mountains. Here more than ten million people visit every year, more than twice that of any other national park.

Nashville is synonymous with country music and the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame. If you are into collecting old records and recordings, be sure to visit the Ernest Tubb Record Shop with its unique display of Grand Ole Opry costumes. Memphis is perhaps the most exciting city to visit in the south with its rich history of blues, soul and rock’n’roll and world class barbecue. Be sure to visit its wonderful downtown area filled with many retro shops, diners, stores, and clusters of museums. A trip to this great city would not be complete without a visit to the Sun and Stax studios where Elvis Presley began his journey to becoming the King. Check out the 32-storey Pyramid, located in northern downtown and its rays of reflection. It is a wonderful sight to see. It is two-thirds the size of the Great Pyramid in Egypt and a tribute to Egypt’s Nile Delta.
