Elvis has left the building

A trip to Memphis would not be complete without visiting the home of the King. A little outside of the city you will find an attraction to rival Disneyland that honours one of the founders of rock and roll, his former residence, Graceland.

The memorabilia here is astounding. From his private jet (the Lisa Marie), the numerous jumpsuits (worn throughout his comeback tour), and the 3 television sets in his basement (it is said he heard that President Johnson watched 3 at once to keep up with the news) there is not a place that will not gather interest.

After the tour the tacky amusement park feeling has vanished and you get the eerie sensation of knowing the man a little more intimately than you would have expected.
