Hi. I promised my wife that I would take her to see Gracelands about 20 years ago and now she has decided the time is right. Planning to go in September 13, but seem to have very little info at the travel agencies I have looked into. Most did not even know that you can fly direct to Dallas/FortWorth in Texas. Has anybody been there and willing to share some tips/places. Was thinking of flying to dallas..then drive.
Any advice??? Thanks

Hi ..we went to Memphis 2 yrs ago and loved it. If you're a die-hard Elvis fan try to book accommodation at the Heartbreak Hotel (prices are very reasonable) - it is sort of across the road from Gracelands and next door to all the Elvis attractions, and is very Elvis themed. They also run a daily shuttle to and from the city centre, with stops at Sun Studio and close to Beale St.
Sorry can't help with the driving part. I also recommend the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks, and the Civil Rights Museum. Hope this helps.. I know you'll have a fantastic time.
