I'm not an uber Elvis fan, but Sister Sue is a fan and Graceland is a Memphis must see. We purchased the premier package so for the two of us, it ran about $85....we had coupons and I got a senior rate. Is it worth it? If you are a fan, of course. If you like his music, sure. If you have heard of him, maybe. If you cannot walk, do stairs, or like confined places, not really.
I enjoyed myself, especially touring Elvis' airplane, the Lisa Marie. This is the best example I know of to represent 1970's opulence. The plane has gold plated seat belts, a large dining room table, and for the king, a king sized bed. The bathrooms sinks are embedded with gold and Elvis's flying bedroom was decorated in, what else?, blue suede.
I was very fascinated and impressed with the floor to ceiling awards and gold and platinum records.
There is a ton of clothing and archival displays, but I won't bore you with all the pics.
After we were done with Graceland, and it is a good 3 + hours of self-guided, ipod narrated info, we grabbed a bite and headed toward our next destination: Gadsden, Alabama.
So, we are here!!!! Ready to start tomorrow! Pray for good weather and great bargains!
